HOW TO…
- Sit down on the floor with your legs extended.
- Now place your hands behind you. Your hands should be facing away from your feet. This is important as it helps to counter the force from your feet and body once you lift your hips.
- Next, push up your hips upwards until your body is straight.
- While in the full reverse plank position, make sure to look up and not towards your feet.
- Hold for a few seconds before lowering your hips back to the floor.
Note: Although it might not seem like it, the full reverse plank is actually easier than the low reverse plank.
Progression: Hold the full reverse plank position as long as you can without suffering proper form (your hips dropping).
Variation: Too hard? Limit the lift of your hips. Try increasing it a bit every time to reach the horizontal position of your upper body.
