Instructions

Setup

  • Begin in a high plank position, with hands directly under your shoulders, body in a straight line from head to heels, and core braced tight.

Movement

  • From the static plank, initiate a forward rock by driving your body weight forward on your toes, shifting your shoulders past your hands while maintaining a rigid torso.

  • Rock back to the starting neutral plank position.

  • Once stable, perform an alternating knee tap by lowering one knee slightly towards the mat without touching it, then return it to the start.

  • Immediately alternate to the other knee.

  • Keep the hips level throughout the entire movement; avoid letting them sag or lift high towards the ceiling.

Tips

  • Keep the movement controlled; focus on core stabilization during the shifting phases.

  • Breathe steadily, exhaling as you rock forward or tap the knee.
