Form tips
It's essential to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise. A common mistake is to let the hips sag or pike up, which can put unnecessary strain on your lower back. To avoid this, imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine to keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.
While maintaining the plank position, lift one leg off the ground. Ensure that your leg is straight and in line with your body, not lifted too high or sagging down. The key is to engage your glutes and hamstrings while keeping your hips square to the ground.
