Plank Shoulder Tap
A high plank where you tap each shoulder in turn, training your core to stop your hips rocking side to side.

Set up
Start in a high plank with your feet a little wider than hip width. Alternate hands; each tap counts as one rep.
While you move
- Feet wide for a steady base
- Hips still, like a tray of water
- Tap slow and light
- Push the floor away
Avoid
- Rocking your hips side to side with each tap
- Rushing the taps
- Letting your hips sag
Take care if you have trouble with your wrists or your shoulders.
