How to: Resistance Band Front Plank With Kicked Leg
- Attach a resistance band to a secure point at ankle height.
- Get into a plank position with hands directly under shoulders, feet hip-width apart.
- Engage your core and ensure your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Slowly lift one leg straight back, keeping it straight and engaging the glutes.
- Lower the leg back to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Continue alternating, maintaining your form throughout.
Common Mistakes

- Pushing through the shoulders rather than engaging the core.
- Kicking the leg too high, which can misalign the body.

- Use a lighter resistance band to make the exercise easier.
