START: Lie on your stomach with your legs extended and prop yourself up on your forearms. Lower your shoulders. Pull your abs in away from the floor to engage the muscles in your entire torso, then raise your hips off the floor, then raise one knee at a time off the floor until you are in a raised plank position supported on your hands and toes. Your body should form a straight line from head to toe. Make sure that your hips don’t sag or pike up. Breathe normally. Hold, then rest and repeat.
 
Technique Tip: Open your legs wider apart if you feel unstable.
