Technique

1. Face away from the anchor with the handles at about knee height, grip them with straight arms and lean forward into a plank.
2. Brace the abs and glutes so the body is in a straight line.
3. Lower the chest between the handles with elbows about 45 degrees from the body.
4. Press back up to straight arms, keeping the straps steady.

Cues

• Keep the straps vertical and the handles from drifting apart.
• Walk the feet back to make it harder, forward to make it easier.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hands drift wide.
• Sagging in the hips.
• Setting the handles unevenly.
