I tried doing this plank variation for 30 days and it relieved hip tension and improved my mobility in ways I hadn’t expected

A woman performs a high plank exercise on an exercise mat. She is on the floor, supported by her tip toes and hands, while the rest of her body is held in a straight line. Behind her we see leafy plants, kettlebells and light dumbbells.

My personal training clients always groan in despair when I program burpees, so sometimes I’m nice and let them do plank walkouts instead.

Like a burpee, it’s a challenging and effective full-body move, which tests your cardio, improves your mobility, strengthens your core and works your shoulder muscles.
