Description

This exercise involves going into a plank position and twisting your torso to touch your elbow to the opposite knee, alternating sides.

How to Do Front Plank with Twist

1
Setup
Begin in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders, fingers spread wide.
2
Setup
Ensure your body forms a straight line from the crown of your head to your heels, engaging your core and glutes.
3
Engage your core and slowly twist your torso, simultaneously bringing your right elbow towards your left knee in a controlled motion.
4
Return to the starting high plank position with control, maintaining a stable and straight body line.
5
Repeat the movement on the opposite side, bringing your left elbow towards your right knee.

Tips

Focus on controlled movement rather than speed to maximize oblique engagement and prevent momentum from taking over the exercise.
Keep your hips relatively stable and avoid excessive rocking from side to side to maintain continuous core tension throughout the twist.
Exhale as you twist and bring your knee in, actively contracting your abdominal muscles for a deeper engagement.
Maintain a strong plank foundation by pressing firmly through your hands and keeping your shoulder blades protracted.

Common Mistakes

×Sagging hips or arching the lower back reduces core engagement; keep your core tight and glutes squeezed to maintain a straight line from head to heels.
×Rushing the movement uses momentum instead of muscle activation; perform each twist slowly and deliberately to maximize oblique work.
×Letting the shoulders round forward strains the upper back; actively push the floor away to keep your chest open and shoulders stable.
