How to do Hand Plank
- Start on all fours with your hands flat on the floor directly under your shoulders.
- Step both feet back one at a time until your legs are straight and your body is in a long line.
- Press the floor away to spread your shoulder blades and keep a slight rounding through the upper back.
- Squeeze your glutes and brace your abs to stop your hips from sagging or piking up.
- Hold the position with steady breathing, eyes looking down between your hands to keep a neutral neck.
- Lower your knees back to the floor with control after the target time and rest before the next set.
