HOW TO…
- Position yourself into High Plank.
- Bring your right hand up and tap your left shoulder.
- Lower your arm.
- Now bring your left hand up and tap the right shoulder.
- Lower your arm again.
- As you shoulder tap, ensure that your hips are NOT sagging or lowering to the ground. Your body should form a straight line from your heels to your head.
- Also, do not let your body sway too much from side to side as you perform the taps.
Progression: Perform 1 shoulder tap exercise (both sides), lower your knees to the ground and rest 5 secs. Go back up and do another shoulder tap exercise, rest again, and so on.
Variation: Too hard? Go into High Plank, and then lower your knees to the ground. Shoulder tap while in this position. Go into Full High Plank (knees off the ground) only when you’re ready.
Goal: Aim to perform Shoulder Taps at least 10x without resting.
Challenge:
Shoulder Tap 1x.
Plank Jack 1x.
This is one set. Repeat 12x.
