Plank Drag

step by step guide:

  1. Get into a tall plank position with a dumbbell, kettlebell, plate, or other weighted object positioned outside one of your hands.

  2. Reach under your body with the opposite arm to grab the weight. Don’t twist your torso or your hips during this step. Only move the arm.

  3. Drag the weight across the ground and position it outside the dragging arm. Repeat on the other side.

Helpful Cues:

  1. Make the exercise easier by widening your feet, and make it harder by keeping your feet closer together.

Common mistakes:

  1. Twisting at the hips or torso. Keep everything locked in tight. The only thing moving should be the arm that’s reaching for the weight.

  2. Sticking your butt up in the air or sagging it down. Hold a tight plank position. Don’t allow yourself to move anything other than the arms.
