Workout & fitness instruction with CEO and founder Ann Barnes.

Plank with Knee to Elbow is a beginner-friendly exercise that helps open the hips while toning the core and abdominal muscles.

Begin in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core by tightening your abs and keeping your back flat. Avoid letting your hips sag or lift too high. Take a deep breath to prepare.

Slowly lift one knee and bring it toward the outside of the same elbow, gently rotating your hip as you move. Keep your shoulders steady and your core engaged. Return the foot to the starting plank position with control, then repeat on the other side.

Move slowly and focus on form rather than speed. Breathe steadily, exhaling as your knee moves forward. Start with 6 to 10 repetitions per side. This controlled movement improves hip mobility, builds core strength, and enhances overall stability.
