Description:
  • Straps at mid-length – a fully extended strap makes this exercise harder
  • Body position is facing the anchor – the closer to the anchor the easier (can do this exercise under anchor)
  • Start with slight bend in knee, hinged at hip, keeping arms vertical under shoulder
  • Extend into a standing plank
  • Hinge, flexing at hips while keeping core and traps engaged, back to starting position
Common Error(s): Not engaging core | Rounded lower back | Sagging lower back
