HOW TO DO IT

1. Start in a plank position, resting on your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Aim to make a straight line with your body; keep your back straight at all times.

2. Tighten your core and glutes and drive your hips toward the ceiling as high as possible. Pause for a moment at the apex and then lower yourself back into a plank.

MAKE IT TOUGHER

Press down with your forearms throughout the move to force your abs to work even harder.
