    How to: Incline Shoulder Tap

    1. Start in a plank position with your arms straight and feet shoulder-width apart.
    2. Lift one hand to touch the opposite shoulder while maintaining a stable core.
    3. Return the hand to the ground and repeat on the other side.
    4. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

    • Letting the hips drop too low or rise too high.
    • Not stabilizing the core.
    • Rushing through the movement without control.

    Modifications
