plank jacks

Plank with jumps

Plank jacks are an exercise combining a plank position with a jumping jack motion.

You hold a straight-arm plank while jumping your feet apart and back together, keeping your core engaged and hips stable.

The movement adds cardio intensity to the standard plank: We finished the circuit with thirty seconds of plank jacks.
