High Shoulder-Tap Plank

1. Starting Position:

   • Begin in a high plank position. Place your hands flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart, directly under your shoulders.

   • Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core, and keep your back flat.

2. Feet Positioning:

   • Keep your feet slightly apart to create a stable base. You can choose to keep them together if you feel balanced.

3. Movement:

   • While maintaining a strong plank position, lift your right hand off the ground.

   • Reach your right hand towards your left shoulder and tap it.

   • Return your right hand to the starting position in the plank.

4. Alternating Sides:

   • Now, lift your left hand off the ground.

   • Reach your left hand towards your right shoulder and tap it.

   • Return your left hand to the starting position.

5. Breathing:

   • Remember to breathe throughout the movement. Exhale as you lift your hand and tap your shoulder.

6. Repetitions:

   • Aim to perform 8-12 taps per side, maintaining control and stability throughout the exercise.

7. Tips:

   • Keep your hips as still as possible; try not to twist or rotate your body while tapping.

   • If you find it challenging, you can widen your feet for better stability. Consider performing the exercise on your knees if needed.

8. Completion:

   • After completing your repetitions, carefully lower your knees to the ground to rest.

Remember to practice good form to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and prevent injury.
