Instructions
Start position: Begin in an elbow plank position with your forearms on the ground and body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
Prepare your form: Your feet should start close together, and your elbows placed directly under your shoulders.
Engage your core: Ensure your core and glutes are engaged to keep your body stable.
Jacks movement: Jump both feet out wide to the sides, similar to a jumping jack, while maintaining the plank position.
Return to start: Quickly jump your feet back together to revert to the starting position.
Repeat: Continue the motion without letting your hips sag or rise for the desired number of repetitions or for a set duration.
Maintain form: Keep your back flat and avoid any rocking motions in your hips throughout the exercise.
Important note: Remember to maintain proper form to avoid injury and to get the most benefit from the exercise. Breathing continuously throughout the movement is also important.
