Instructions
Starting Position:
Begin in a plank position. Place your hands directly under your shoulders, with your arms straight.
Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core to maintain this position.
Foot Position:
Your feet should be hip-width apart. You can choose to have your feet together or slightly apart for better balance.
Movement:
Shift your weight onto your right hand and rotate your body to the left, lifting your left arm off the ground.
Extend your left arm straight up towards the ceiling, aiming to create a straight line from your left hand to your feet.
Tap:
While balanced on your right hand, lower your left arm and reach down to lightly tap the floor beside your left hip.
Return:
Raise your left arm back to the starting position (up towards the ceiling) as you shift your weight back onto both hands.
Ensure your body returns into the straight line of the plank.
Repeat:
Perform the tap for 10-15 repetitions, then switch to the other side.
Tips for Beginners:
Start with a modified plank position by using your knees for support if needed.
Focus on maintaining a strong core and proper alignment throughout the movement.
Take your time and ensure you are comfortable before attempting to add speed to the taps.
