Instructions

1. Start in a standard plank position, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Be sure the dumbbells are suitable for gripping and stable enough on the floor to support your weight.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

3. Engage your core, ensuring your back remains flat throughout the movement.

4. Slowly raise one arm out straight in front of you, while simultaneously lifting the opposite leg off the ground. Do this while balancing on the other hand and foot, ensuring minimal rotation or dipping in the hips.

5. Hold the position briefly, aiming for a straight line from your raised hand to your raised foot.

6. Lower your arm and leg back to the initial plank position with control.

7. Repeat the movement, alternating the arm and leg being raised each time.

8. Perform for the desired number of repetitions or for time while maintaining proper form.

For safety and effectiveness, it's important to: - Keep the movements slow and controlled. - Not let your hips sag or pike up too high. - Breathe regularly throughout the exercise, avoiding holding your breath. - Choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form without straining.
