Plank Leg Lifts Instructions
1. Start in a low plank position with your body in a straight line, your elbows bent and under your shoulders, and your feet hip-width apart.
2. Lift your left leg to a 45-degree angle and hold.
3. Switch legs and repeat.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Keep your core tight, your glutes engaged, maintain your back flat and your hips level. Lift your leg, being careful not to arch your back, and hold for as long as you can. Breathe in as you lower the leg and return to the plank position.
