Plank Hip Touches
Starting Posture
Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
How to Exercise
From the high plank position, shift your weight slightly to one side and lift the opposite hand off the ground. Touch your hip with your hand and then return it to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
Breath Control
Exhale as you touch your hip and inhale as you return to the starting position.
Common errors
Common errors include twisting the body, lifting the hips too high, or allowing the shoulders to hunch. Make sure to maintain proper form to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.

Comments and tips
Engage your core and glutes throughout the exercise to maintain stability in the plank position. Keep your hips level and avoid rotating your torso.
Cautions
