How to perform

Start in a planche position, hands shoulder-width apart. Lift legs off the ground, keeping them straight and together. Lower your body by bending your elbows, maintaining the planche form. Push back up to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Strengthen and improve wrist flexibility. Maintain a straight line from head to toe. Progress gradually if new to the exercise. Engage your core for stability. Practice wrist mobility regularly.
