What is a plank crawl?

A plank crawl is a type of exercise that involves moving forward or backward while holding a plank position. To perform a plank crawl, start in a plank position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels. From there, you can either crawl forward by moving one hand and one foot at a time, or crawl backward in the same manner.

Plank crawls are a great exercise for improving core strength, coordination, and mobility. They target the muscles in the core, shoulders, arms, and legs. Plank crawls can be incorporated into a variety of workouts, such as circuit training, HIIT workouts, or as a warm-up exercise.

When performing plank crawls, it is important to maintain proper form and alignment to avoid injury. Keep your core engaged, hips level, and body in a straight line throughout the movement. Start with a slow and controlled pace, and gradually increase speed and intensity as you build strength and endurance.
