How To Do An Army Crawl Plank

Army crawl planks are an amazing core body exercise that target not only all your core muscles but strengthen and challenge your upper body as well. If you learn how to do army crawl planks, you will learn how to stabilize yourself during movement and add strength to your biceps, chest and shoulders.

Try the army crawl planks two to three times a week for best results. Include it as part of your regular exercise routine or tag it onto the end of your cardio workout.

Here are the steps to performing an army crawl plank:
1) Begin in a plank position with your shoulders over your wrists, your feet together, and your body in a straight line.
2) Bend your left arm so that it is now in a forearm plank position.
3) Then bend your right arm so you are in a full forearm plank position.
4) Lift your left hand and place it on the mat directly below your shoulder as you push through your palm to lift yourself.
