Steps
- 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 Widen your feet so they are significantly wider than shoulder-width apart, planting your toes firmly on the ground.
- 3 Engage your core muscles to keep your hips stable and prevent them from sagging or rotating.
- 4 Keeping your leg straight, slowly lift one leg a few inches off the ground, squeezing your glute.
- 5 Hold this position briefly, maintaining a stable plank without shifting your weight excessively.
- 6 Gently lower your leg back to the wide-stance plank position.
- 7 Repeat the leg lift with the opposite leg, alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
