Instructions

1. Position a bench that is stable and at an appropriate height.

2. Start by placing your feet on top of the bench and your hands on the ground below your shoulders, entering into a decline plank position. Your body should be straight, with your core engaged and head aligned with your spine.

3. Shift your body weight onto your left hand and slowly lift your right hand off the ground.

4. Touch your left shoulder with your right hand while keeping your hips as stable as possible, avoiding the tendency to rock side to side.

5. Place your right hand back down to the original position, and shift your weight to prepare to repeat the movement on the opposite side.

6. Now, lift your left hand and touch your right shoulder, again keeping your body as stable as possible.

7. Return to the starting position and continue alternating sides for the desired number of reps.

Make sure to perform this exercise in a controlled manner, maintaining body alignment and stability throughout the movement. It's important to keep the hips level and the core tight to maximize the benefits of this exercise. Adjust the speed and number of repetitions according to your fitness level.
