Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Begin in a high plank position with your hands placed directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Your feet should be hip-width apart, and your core should be engaged to maintain stability.

2. Plank Walk Up:
- Shift your weight onto your right hand and slowly lift your left hand off the ground.
- Place your left hand on the surface next to your right hand, transitioning into an elevated position. Your arms should now be fully extended, resembling a push-up position.

3. Return to Starting Position:
- Reverse the movement by placing your left hand back on the floor and shifting your weight back onto your left arm.
- Follow by lifting your right hand off the ground and placing it back on the floor in line with your shoulder.

4. Repetition:
- Continue to alternate your hands for a set number of repetitions (e.g., 10-15 on each side), ensuring smooth and controlled movements.

5. Tips:
- Keep your back straight and avoid letting your hips sag or rise during the exercise.
- Breathe steadily throughout the movement, exhaling as you lift your hands and inhaling when returning to the plank position.
- Engage your core and glutes to maintain stability and support your back.

Cool Down:
After completing the set, take a moment to stretch your arms, shoulders, and core to prevent stiffness.
