Instructions:

  • 1Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart
  • 2Bring your right knee forward under your chest with the toes just off the ground
  • 3Return to your basic plank and switch legs, bringing the left knee forward
  • 4Keep alternating legs and begin to pick up the pace until it feels a little like running in place in a plank position
  • 5Continue this movement for your desired amount of repetitions

Tips:

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to support your lower back
  • Try to maintain a relatively fast pace to keep your heart rate up
  • Ensure your hands are directly under your shoulders to avoid any unnecessary strain on your wrists
  • Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the movement
