plank arm lifts Muscles Worked
Plank arm lifts are a core and shoulder exercise that also challenge stability. Since you’ll only be raising one arm at a time, you have to work hard to avoid any twisting or rotation in the shoulders or hips which will require the help of the core muscles.
How to do Plank arm lifts
Begin in a high plank position on your hands and feet with the hands directly under the shoulders. Be on your toes with the feet hip distance apart. Have your spine in a straight line from head-to-toe.
Lift one arm straight forward with the thumb up until it is in line with the rest of your body. Be sure to maintain a neutral spine and avoid any twisting in the rest of your body.
Then, lower that hand back down to the ground.
Repeat for the desired repetitions, alternating arms.
