Plank to Pike Jumps

Overview

The Plank to Pike Jumps is an advanced exercise that combines elements of a plank and a pike. To do the Plank to Pike Jumps, start in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your feet together. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your heels. From here, jump your feet forward toward your hands, lifting your hips and forming an inverted V-shape with your body. Jump back to the starting position and repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions. This exercise targets the core muscles, including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques. It also works the shoulders, triceps, and hip flexors. The length of time that you should perform the Plank to Pike Jumps can vary depending on your fitness level and goals. Beginners may start with 8-10 repetitions for 1-2 sets, while more experienced individuals may aim for 12-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets. As this is an advanced exercise, it's important to use proper form and not push yourself too hard, as overexertion can lead to injury. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately..
