DOWN DOG TO HIGH PLANK

Sets: 1

Reps: 12

  • Starting in a high plank position, inhale as you send your hips up towards the ceiling. You should feel a stretch through the hamstrings. Pedal out your feet here for an additional stretch.

  • Exhale as you draw in your core and shift the hips back down to high plank. Think of drawing in lower, middle and upper abs.

  • Inhale and repeat, lifting the hips high. Your shoulders should be pushing the floor away. Press your chest towards your shins to get a shoulder/lat stretch.

  • Use this to warm up your shoulder, hip and hamstring mobility, as well as activation for your deep core in the high plank position.

Modifications:

  • Take the plank down to the knees.

  • Perform on an elevated surface (bench, coffee table).
