Perfect for core days in the FitnessTracker app, Butt-Ups use a modified plank to hit your lower abs while teaching you how to brace and move from the hips. This low-impact exercise is ideal for home or travel training.
Instructions
- Begin in a forearm plank with your elbows bent at 90 degrees and directly below your shoulders.
- Engage your core and avoid letting your back sag or arch excessively.
- Raise your hips upward toward the ceiling, forming a pike or "butt-up" position.
- Squeeze your abs at the top, then lower back into plank slowly with control.
- Repeat the motion for reps, focusing on controlled breathing and tension.
