Front Plank with Leg Lift
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The front plank with leg lift enhances core stability by engaging the abdominal muscles while also activating the glutes and supporting leg muscles. This variation adds intensity by requiring balance and strength on fewer points of contact with the ground.
How to do it
- Start in a forearm plank position with elbows under shoulders.
- Engage your core and ensure a straight line from head to heels.
- Lift one leg off the ground, keeping it straight, and hold.
- Lower the leg back down and repeat with the other leg.
- Continue alternating legs, maintaining a stable plank.
