Forearm Plank with Alternating Arm Reach

Set up in a forearm plank with elbows under shoulders and a stable base of support; flex quads, tuck the pelvis, and alternate extending one arm straight forward for a multi-second hold while resisting hip sway.

Key points

  • Lock hips completely square to the floor to prevent rotational shifting when reaching
  • Squeeze quads and glutes to maintain a rigid line from head to heels
  • Reach arm straight out parallel to the floor for a 2 to 3 second hold before alternating

Common mistakes

Piking the buttocks into the air, sagging through the lumbar spine, or excessively rocking the hips from side to side.
