Slim & Trim - Forward Scoop to Reverse Plank

 Slim and Trim



Forward Scoop to Reverse Plank



Exercise 11 of 11

  • Sit holding your towel with legs extended and together, toes pointed, squeezing through your inner thighs. Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, scoop your abs into your back as you reach forward, bringing your chest over your thighs and press your towel out towards your toes.
  • Quickly roll back up to your sitting position, release your towel, and place your hands behind you on the ground, fingertips pointed towards your body. Lift your hips off the ground into a full reverse plank. Hold for one count and then softly lower your hips, pick up your towel, and repeat. Do 20 reps in total.

  • Note: Be sure to use your breath and your abdominals during the forward scoop and during the press up to plank. If it’s too hard to lift your hips up with your legs extended in plank, bend both knees and plant your feet on the ground hip-width apart and lift into a reverse tabletop position instead.
