Instructions
1. Start in a straight-arm plank position with your hands placed shoulder-width apart, arms locked out, and your body in a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
2. Engage your core, keep your gaze down, and your neck neutral to align with your spine.
3.** Explosively pull your knees** toward your chest without letting your hips sag or pike up. Try to tuck your knees as close to your chest as possible, engaging your abdominal muscles.
4. Now, forcefully push your feet back to the original plank position. Try to maintain a strong, rigid torso and do not let your lower back arch.
5. Continue to repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep proper form throughout the exercise.
Make sure to warm up before performing this exercise and cool down after completing your sets. Due to the advanced nature of this exercise, it is important to have a solid foundation of core strength and to have mastered the basic plank and jumping movements before attempting the Plank Power Tuck.
