Exercise Description

The plank to hip raise exercise builds core strength while adding glute activation. It combines static hold with dynamic movement for better muscle engagement.

How To

1. Start in a standard plank position with hands under shoulders and body in a straight line. 2. Keep your plank form tight and lift your hips up toward the ceiling in one smooth motion. 3. Pause at the top for one second, squeezing your abs and glutes hard. 4. Lower your hips back to the starting plank position with control. 5. Repeat the plank to hip raise movement for your target reps while keeping tension throughout.

Form Tips

• Keep your hands planted and shoulders stable during the entire plank to hip raise movement. • Don't let your hips sag or pike too high - find the sweet spot. • Breathe out as you lift your hips up in the plank to hip raise. • Keep your core tight throughout the whole movement, not just at the top.

Common Mistakes

• Lifting hips too high and turning the plank to hip raise into a downward dog stretch. • Letting the lower back sag when returning to plank position. • Moving too fast and losing control during the plank to hip raise transition.
