Walkout Shoulder-Tap Plank

Setup

Start in a standing position with feet hip-width apart. Maintain a slight bend in your knees as you prepare to hinge at the hips.

Movement

1. Hinge and Reach: Inhale as you hinge at your hips, keeping your back flat, and place your hands firmly on the ground in front of your feet.

2. Walk Out: Alternating your hands, "walk" them forward along the floor until you reach a high plank position, where your body forms a straight line from heels to shoulders.

3. Shoulder Taps: While maintaining core stability (avoid rocking your hips), lift your right hand to tap your left shoulder, then place it back on the ground. Repeat with the left hand tapping the right shoulder.

4. Walk Back: After performing a set number of taps, reverse the movement by walking your hands back toward your feet.

5. Return: Hinge back up to the starting standing position.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire movement to prevent lower back strain.

• Ensure your wrists are directly under your shoulders once you reach the high plank position.

• Focus on maintaining hip stability during the tapping portion to maximize core engagement.
