Instructions

1. Start in a standard plank position with your elbows straight, wrists beneath your shoulders, and your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels.

2. Engage your core muscles and keep your back flat to maintain good form throughout the movement.

3. Begin the exercise by simultaneously stepping to the side with your right hand and right foot.

4. Follow by stepping your left hand and left foot to the right, returning to the plank position.

5. Take several steps in one direction, aiming for smooth and controlled movements.

6. After completing a few steps to the right, switch directions and lead with your left hand and foot to move to the left.

7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of sets or time, keeping your hips as stable as possible.

It's important to keep your movements controlled and prevent your hips from sagging or piking up as you perform the exercise. The Plank Side Walk is a great exercise for engaging the entire core, improving stability, and also challenging your shoulder endurance.
