Remember that song and dance from Kindergarten, “head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!”.  Well, today’s plank variation is using a little inspiration from that song to sequence through a focus on shoulder stability as well as hip mobility.

• Start with a solid plank position, neutral spine and wrists under shoulders.  I like having the feeling of my chest extending slightly forward and my glutes engaged as well
• The goal of the first 4 moves is to keep your lower body stable
• Start by tapping your head with each hand, and then each shoulder
• Next bring each knee across to the opposite elbow
• And finally tap your foot to the outside of your body
• Repeat this sequence 10 times and then rest
• Keep your focus on stability keeping the lower body in place when you move the upper, and the upper in place when you move the lower
• Hopefully you don’t end up with that song in your head afterwards!!

Let me know how this one goes, it’s tough!
