Learn Downward Dog to Side Plank with Keighty (1 Min)
LEARN | Strength Foundations with Keighty Gallagher • 1m 38s
Find yourself in your tall plank position and open up the stance of your feet, slightly wider than hip width apart. Press into downward dog, pulling your hips high into the air, and reach your right hand back to touch your left toe or shin. Feel the stretch in your hamstrings and return to your tall plank with your shoulders stacked firmly over your wrists. Turn your hips and feet to the right as you reach your right arm up for a moment or two. Return to your plank keeping your core engaged and back neutral. Repeat the exercise on the opposite side. Take your time and feel your body move through the complete Downward Dog to Side Plank sequence with care.
