The plank with knee to elbow is a more difficult progression from a standard plank. The exercise targets the core, specifically the obliques, to build strength and increase stability.

Instructions

  2. Plank with Knee to Elbow
    Tighten your abs and bring one knee to the outside of the same arm, pausing for a moment before straightening the leg back behind you. Keep the leg elevated and repeat the movement.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Don't lift your hips or let them sag. Instead, maintain a straight line from your head to toes.
  • Squeeze your abs as you bring your knee to your chest.
  • Do not lower the working leg back to the ground until all repetitions are completed.
