How to do the Alternating Plank Lunge

  1. Start in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Step your right foot forward outside your right hand, bringing your body into a low lunge position.
  3. Return your right foot to the plank position.
  4. Step your left foot forward outside your left hand, bringing your body into a low lunge position. Return your left foot to the plank position. Continue alternating sides.

Form tips

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and proper alignment.
  • Ensure your front knee is aligned with your ankle and does not extend past your toes to avoid strain on your knee joint.
  • Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
