How to do it

Forearm plank with feet on a raised surface that increases the demand on the abs and shoulders.

Form. Form a long line from shoulders to ankles, push the floor away with your forearms and breathe without letting the pelvis drop.

Common mistake. Arching the lower back, raising the hips too high, or holding your breath.
