The plank with a leg and arm reach is the next progression up from a plank with leg or arm reach. By lifting two limbs you now only have two points of contact. This also gives you a cross sectional challenge which works naturally with the angle your muscles and fascia run. You will feel all the muscles from one hip to the opposite shoulder working in order to stay balanced.
How To:
1) Get down into a pillar position by lying face down with body elevated and only your elbows and toes touching the ground
2) Carefully lift one leg off the ground and simultaneously reach the opposing arm in front of you
*TRAINERS TIPS* Widen base of feet if necessary for more stability, limit movement made in your body
