The plank with leg lift is a multi-functional exercise that improves stability throughout the core, spine, and hip regions. The exercise also strengthens the lower back while improving hip mobility.
Instructions
Begin in the top of a pushup position with your hands directly beneath your shoulders. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
Tighten your abs and lift one leg off the ground until it's at hip height, pausing for a moment before returning to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Do not allow your back to round.
Squeeze your abs and glutes to maintain stability throughout the entire exercise.
Do not allow your torso to rotate to one side or the other as you lift your leg.
