#5 Scissor Leg Plank
The scissor leg plank is an advanced variation of the regular plank that not only targets the core but also activates a host of muscles found in the inner thigh region.
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position and quickly transition yourself into a regular high plank position. The feet should be close to each other while the palms must be placed directly below the shoulders.
Step 2: With a stationary torso, move the legs to the side in an arc motion until you feel a stretch in the thighs. Keep the legs straight and parallel to the body throughout the duration of the exercise.
Step 3: Hold the position for 30 seconds and return to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: Do not let the body sag towards the floor while performing this exercise.
