You may target multiple muscle groups with planks that include shoulder taps. These muscle groups include your hip flexors, abdominals, back, glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps.
Within the context of the typical straight-arm plank, this motion presents an additional challenge.
To begin, assume a typical plank position with your arms straight. If you feel the need for additional stability, widen your legs.
Raise your right hand off the ground and bring it to rest on your left shoulder while maintaining a tension in your core. After then, bring your right hand back down to the ground.
In order to contact your right shoulder, lift your left hand and touch it.
For the next twenty to thirty seconds, continue to switch hands.
When performing this action, you should avoid moving your shoulders or hips. Keeping your body in a straight line is the objective of this exercise.
If you find that this exercise is too challenging for you, try beginning on your knees (in a straight-arm knee plank) or adopting a wider stance. By bringing your feet together, you can make the challenge more challenging. Because of this, it is more difficult to keep the stability.
