Incline Jack Plank

The Incline Jack Plank combines a plank position with jumping jack movements to engage your core and improve cardiovascular fitness.

  1. Start in an incline plank position with your hands on an elevated surface.
  2. Jump your feet out to the sides, similar to a jumping jack.
  3. Quickly return your feet to the starting position.
  4. Maintain a strong core and straight body throughout the movement.

How to perform the Incline Jack Plank

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Incline Jack Plank using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
