Instructions

1. Begin in a standard front plank position: Place your forearms on the ground with your elbows aligned below your shoulders, and your arms parallel to your body at about shoulder-width distance. Extend your legs behind you, resting on your toes. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

2. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine and pelvis.

3. Carefully lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously off the ground, keeping your arm straight in front and leg straight behind. Maintain balance and ensure your hips do not sag or rotate.

4. Hold the lifted position for a brief moment, then slowly lower your arm and leg back down to the starting position.

5. Repeat the same movement with your left arm and right leg.

6. Continue to alternate between sides for the desired number of repetitions or duration while maintaining proper form and balance.

Ensure you keep your movements smooth and controlled, and focus on maintaining tension in the core throughout the exercise to prevent your lower back from collapsing. This exercise is helpful for improving core stability and balance, and also for strengthening the muscle groups involved in the lift.
