How to: Resistance Band Plank Jack
- Start in a plank position with a resistance band around your ankles or feet.
- Jump your feet out wide to the sides, then back to the starting position while keeping your core tight.
- Ensure your shoulders are directly over your wrists.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing hips to sag or rise too high.
- Moving too quickly, which can compromise form.
- Neglecting to engage the core.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise without a resistance band for beginners.
- Do the plank jack on your knees rather than your toes to reduce intensity.
Tips
- Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain stability.
- Adjust the resistance of the band to control the difficulty.
