About

It's a workout that targets your hip muscles by lifting your hips while keeping your whole body balanced with a plank motion!

How to Hip Raise Plank

Starting Position

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and lie face down with your knees straight.

2. Engage your hips and core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and support your body on the balls of your feet while lying face down with your knees straight.

2. Raise your hips to prepare your body so that it forms a straight line from your head to your feet.

3. In that position, lift your hips towards the sky and lower your head so that your head, back, and hips are in a straight line.

4. Lower your hips back down and lift your head to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale while raising your buttocks and inhale while lowering them.

Precautions

If your flexibility is lacking, it may be difficult to lift your hips. Please proceed after sufficient stretching.
