Plank Jacks

What It Is

Jumping your feet in and out while holding a plank. It raises your heart rate and challenges your trunk at once.

How to Do It

Start at the top of a push-up on the floor, hands under your shoulders and feet together. Jump your feet out wide, then jump them back together. Keep your hips at shoulder height the whole time.

Tips

Land softly on the balls of your feet. Step your feet out one at a time if the jumps make your hips bounce.

Skill Level

Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.

Type

Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.

Engagement

Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.

Primary Muscles

Equipment
