Partner plank with high-five

The partner plank with high-five is an isometric partner exercise focused on the muscles of the core. Adding a high-five forces each partner to remove one base of support, making the plank harder to perform. It can be performed for time or reps in the ab-focused portion of any workout.

Benefits

  1. Works the core, upper back, shoulders, and arms
  2. Improves core and hip stability and strength
  3. Engages the lower-body muscles to maintain position
  4. Partners can encourage each other to push through fatigue
