Benefits:

If you are feeling good and strong with the extended arm plank and can do 3 sets with 20 reps easily, or the ability to stay in the plank for two minutes, then you might like to progress to the Kettlebell Pull-Through.

The Position:

1. Have the kettlebell positioned just below one of your hands.
2. Get into an extended arm plank.
   1. Hands under your shoulders
   2. Abs in
   3. Engage your glutes
   4. Lock your shoulders
   5. Good cervical alignment

The Movement:

1. If the kettlebell is by your right hand, reach across your body with your left hand and move the kettlebell to the other side just below where your hand would be.
2. Rinse and repeat, remembering to keep your shoulders and hips square while maintaining good plank posture.
