Push up to forearm plank with arm and trunk rotation with weight

Push up to forearm plank with arm and trunk rotation with weight

Start in a push-up position, on your hands and toes and body in a straight line.
Perform a push-up by bending your arms and bringing your chest towards the floor and the push back up to starting position.
Next, one arm at a time lower down onto your forearms, whilst keeping your body in a straight line.
Then move back up to straight arms.
Next, lift one arm and reach it under your chest towards the opposite side to pick up a weight.
When ready, rotate from your body and lift the same arm towards the ceiling whilst following with your eyes.
Your arms should be parallel to each other, and your elbows should be straight.
Slowly lower your arm back down and watch your hand as you lower the weight.
Repeat the sequence on the opposite side.
To increase the difficulty of the exercise you can perform the sequence with incrementally heavier weights as guided by your practitioner.
