Plank with opposite arm leg lifts

Start in perfect plank position with your right hand on a light dumbbell.  (Note: do this first w/o a dumbbell to ensure proper form.  Only when you can do this properly w/o a dumbbell will you add it.)

Plank with opposite arm leg lifts

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.
