Exercise Description

The shoulder taps exercise builds shoulder stability while firing up your core. It's a simple bodyweight move that improves balance and strength.

How To

1. Start in a plank position with hands directly under your shoulders and feet hip-width apart. 2. Keep your core tight and lift your right hand to tap your left shoulder. 3. Place your right hand back down and repeat shoulder taps with your left hand to right shoulder. 4. Keep your hips level and avoid rotating your body during each shoulder tap. 5. Continue alternating shoulder taps for your desired reps, staying in proper plank form.

Form Tips

• Keep your core braced tight throughout the entire shoulder taps movement to prevent hip sagging. • Move slowly and control each tap - shoulder taps aren't about speed. • Keep your feet wider for more stability when starting out. • Don't let your hips rock side to side during the movement.

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips sag or pike up breaks proper shoulder taps form and reduces effectiveness. • Moving too fast during shoulder taps causes poor control and hip rotation. • Placing hands too close together makes the exercise much harder than needed.
