Exercise #2

Plank and Rotate

Instructions:

Step 1: Start in the high plank position with your arms extended under your shoulder, abs engaged and your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and place it firmly under your shoulder. Keep your feet a little wider as compared to a normal plank position.

Step 2: Lift your right hand towards the ceiling and twist your torso and pelvis. Look at your palms as you lift your hands up.

Step 3: Bring it back to the initial position and repeat for the other side. This makes 1 rep.

Do 2 sets of 12 reps each.
