Plank with opposite arm leg lifts #2
inhale, then while exhaling, lift your right arm/dumbbell straight in front of you while you lift your left leg straight up behind you, simultaneously pulling your navel to your spine and squeezing your buttocks to protect your back. The arm and leg should stay inside the frame of the body and not lift above the shoulder/butt.
Do 6-12 reps right then repeat on left side.
This concludes this post on Plank with opposite arm leg lifts.
