The Frog Planche exercise is a challenging variation of the standard planche exercise that targets the core, shoulders, and arms.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Start by kneeling on the floor with your hands placed shoulder-width apart in front of you.
2. Spread your fingers wide for stability and tuck your toes under, lifting your hips off the ground to come into a high plank position.
3. Engage your core and slowly lower your forearms to the ground, keeping your elbows stacked directly under your shoulders.
4. Pause when your forearms are parallel to each other and your body is in a straight line from head to heels.
5. From here, bend your knees and bring them out to the sides, resembling a frog position.
6. Hold this position for a few seconds, focusing on maintaining a strong core and stable upper body.
7. To release, reverse the movement by straightening your legs back into a plank position and then lifting your hips up and returning to the starting position.
8. Repeat for desired number of reps or hold for a specific amount of time as part of your workout routine.
