Steps

  1. 1 Begin in a forearm plank position, with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
  2. 2 Keeping your core engaged, rotate your hips to the right, lowering your right hip towards the floor without letting it touch.
  3. 3 Smoothly sweep your hips in a 'U' shape, lifting them through the center and then rotating to the left, lowering your left hip towards the floor.
  4. 4 Continue this fluid, controlled motion, alternating sides as if tracing a 'U' with your hips.
