How to do it

  1. Start in a forearm plank with your elbows under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Keeping that line rigid, push through your forearms to shift your whole body backward, pivoting on your toes, then pull yourself forward again to the start.
  3. The range is small - a hand's length each way is plenty - but the further back you shift, the harder your abs have to fight to keep your hips from sagging.
