This is another walk-out exercise while doing a reverse plank. In this case, the walk-out is sideways rather than length-wise.
HOW TO…
- Get into a Reverse Bridge position.
- Start with your left leg, lift the leg and move it outward. Place it on the floor at about a foot from its original position.
- Now lift the right leg and move it outward in the other direction. Place it on the floor about a foot from its original position.
- Next, left your left leg again and move it back to its original position.
- To complete the reverse walk out, left your right leg and move it back to its original position.
Note: Keep looking upward during the exercise to maintain proper form. Try to move slowly when lifting and moving your legs. For easy positioning of the legs, it is best to use a yoga mat, so you can place your feet just outside, or on the edge of the mat.
Progression: Repeat the reverse walk out 10 times on each side.
Variation: Instead of moving the legs to the most outward position in one move, you can do it in two moves. Making smaller ‘steps’ while walking out will make it a bit easier to keep your balance. But it will not require less effort, as you left the legs more often!
