Forearm Plank Reach

How To Do A Forearm Plank Reach Correctly

The Forearm Plank Reach is an challenging progression to the traditional forearm plank exercise that not only strengthens your abs, but it also improves your core stabilizer muscles and balance.

To get started:

1. Get into a plank position with your toes and forearms planted into the floor, elbows at a 90 degree angle and directly below your shoulders, feet shoulder width apart, and your body forming a straight line from heels to your head.
2. Contract your abs, your glutes, your hamstrings, quadriceps, chest, and other every muscle in your body, then raise and extend to reach one arm directly in front of you, with your palms facing in.
3. When you do reach your arm, make sure your hips remain parallel to the ground since they shouldn’t rise on each side.
4. Hold it for at least 3 seconds, then lower your forearm back to the ground.
5. Repeat with the opposite arm, and repeat.
6. That’s one rep.
7. Continue alternating sides until you hit your desired rep count.
