How to do the Balance Trainer Shoulder Tap Planks

  1. 1 Begin in a high or elevated plank position. Support your body on your hands and toes with your arms extended and hands planted directly under your shoulders, and your legs extended. Your body should form a straight line from your ankles to your shoulders.
  2. 2 Raise one hand off the floor and move it up and across to tap the opposite shoulder, then repeat on the opposite side. Move deliberately, and engage your core and glutes to ensure that your hips don’t rock from side to side as you move your arms. The rest of your body should stay as still as possible while you’re moving your arms.
