How to do a plank to push up

  1. Begin in a forearm plank position with elbows under shoulders and body in a straight line.
  2. Press up onto one hand at a time, extending your arms to a high plank.
  3. Lower back down one arm at a time to return to the forearm plank.
  4. Keep your core tight and hips level throughout the movement.
  5. Continue alternating the leading arm with each repetition.

Form tips

  • Keep your core braced to prevent hips from rocking side to side.
  • Maintain a straight line from head to heels.
  • Move in a controlled manner without sagging the lower back.
