Plank Shoulder Taps

Technique

Setup

Start in a high plank with your hands under your shoulders and your feet wider than hip-width. Brace your core and squeeze your glutes so your body forms a straight line.

Movement

Lift one hand and tap the opposite shoulder, then place it back down and repeat with the other hand. Move slowly and keep alternating until all reps are done.

Form Tip

Keep your hips square to the floor, as if balancing a glass of water on your lower back; if they rock side to side, widen your feet or slow down.

Increase Difficulty

Bring your feet closer together, or hold each tap for 2 seconds.

Decrease Difficulty

Widen your feet further, or perform from your knees.
