- 2 Widen your feet significantly, placing them wider than hip-width apart for a stable base.
- 3 Engage your core tightly, keeping your hips stable and preventing them from rocking side to side.
- 4 Slowly lift one arm off the floor, extending it forward and slightly to the opposite side, creating a diagonal line with your body.
- 5 Hold briefly, maintaining a stable plank, then slowly lower your arm back to the starting position.
- 6 Repeat the movement with the other arm, lifting it diagonally forward and to the opposite side.
