Plank with leg lift
Core · Building · in reps · per side
Why it helps your running
Your core stays locked while one leg moves: exactly what it does on every stride.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
- Tempo
- 1 s down, 1 s up, 1s pause
How to do it
- In a forearm plank, lift one straight leg a few centimetres, hold for a second, lower it back down.
- Nothing moves above the hips: keep your pelvis level.
- Alternate sides or do all the reps on one side, same number on each.
Common mistakes
- Your hips tilt toward the lifted leg.
- You lift too high and your lower back arches.
