Plank Side Walk

Why I do it: This exercise is absolutely a workout for the arms, but it is also great practice for lateral wall walks, which is great practice for handstand push-ups and handstand walks (both goals).

  • Begin in plank position with your hands underneath your shoulders, and with your body in one straight line.
  • Simultaneously cross your right hand over your left as you step your left foot to the left. Then simultaneously step your left hand and right foot to the left, so you're back in plank position. Your hands move together as your feet step apart.
  • Repeat this for five steps to the left and five steps to the right to complete a rep. Be sure to keep the hips low as you move, drawing the navel toward the spine.
