ABS

Quadruped Plank With Leg Extensions

BeginnerBodyweight

This ground-based hold layers a single-leg extension onto a knees-hovering plank, so your core has to resist rotation while your glutes and hamstrings do the lifting. It trains stability and posterior-chain strength at the same time. Great for grooving control before harder anti-rotation work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set up on hands and knees, wrists under shoulders, knees under hips with toes tucked.

  2. 2

    Keep a flat back and neutral neck, eyes toward the floor.

  3. 3

    Lift your knees an inch or two off the ground so you are hovering.

  4. 4

    Squeeze your glute to extend one leg straight behind you, level with your torso.

  5. 5

    Fight to keep your hips square and level, pause briefly, then lower with control.

  6. 6

    Alternate legs while keeping the knees hovering throughout the set.
