The Reverse Plank With Leg Lift exercise is a variation of the traditional reverse plank that targets the core, glutes, and hamstrings. It also helps improve balance and stability.
How to perform
To perform the Reverse Plank With Leg Lift exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and your hands placed behind your hips, fingers pointing towards your feet.
2. Press your hands into the floor and lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your head to your heels.
3. Engage your core and squeeze your glutes to maintain a stable position.
4. Keeping your legs straight, lift one leg off the ground, bringing it to hip height. Hold for a moment before lowering it back down.
5. Repeat with the other leg, alternating legs for the desired number of repetitions.
6. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can lift both legs simultaneously instead of alternating them.
7. Make sure to keep your hips lifted throughout the exercise and avoid letting them drop. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable plank position.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and perform the movement in a controlled manner to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.
