Push-Up to Side Plank

1. Start in a high plank position with your hands in line with your chest.
2. Bend your elbows to hover your chest just above the floor.
3. Push back up to the high plank position.
4. Once we reach the top of the high plank, pick up your right hand and twist your body to a side plank with your right hand extended above you.
5. Bring that hand back down to the high plank position, and repeat the entire exercise, but raise the left hand to perform a side plank of the opposite side.
- Keep your elbows into your sides.
- Activate your chest to do the push. That is where most of the power should come from.
- Keep your core tight and maintain a flat position. We do not want to raise our glutes/hips.
- By engaging our cores, we will also keep our hips from dropping during the side planks.
