Want to add a little more challenge to your core work? Being able to stabilize your spine is critical in protecting and supporting your low back, in life and in lifting heavy. By removing a hand or foot from your base of support, you're increasing the amount of stabilization required from all parts of your core. Resist the urge to wobble or rock, and focus on staying grounded and moving with control.

How to do plank taps:

1. Get into the plank position on either your forearms or hands. Widen your feet for more stability, narrow your feet for more of a challenge.

2. Keeping your hips and back stable, bring your right hand or forearm off the ground to tap your left shoulder.

3. Repeat a handful of times on each side.
