- Return to the starting plank position, then repeat the movement on the opposite side.
- Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Ensure you keep your movements smooth and controlled to maintain form and avoid injury.
- Maintain a steady breathing pattern, exhaling as you bring your knee towards your elbow and inhaling as you return to the plank position.
- Keep your shoulders stable and your core engaged throughout the exercise to enhance effectiveness.
