Steps
- 1 Begin in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
- 2 Widen your feet so they are slightly wider than hip-width apart, maintaining a strong, stable core.
- 3 Keeping your hips as still as possible, slowly lift your right leg diagonally upwards and outwards.
- 4 Hold for a moment at the top, engaging your glutes and core to prevent your hips from rotating.
- 5 Gently lower your right leg back to the wide-stance plank position.
- 6 Repeat the movement by lifting your left leg diagonally upwards and outwards.
