Tall plank shoulder taps

Begin in a tall plank position with the feet shoulder width apart. Tighten the core and slowly lift the right hand off the floor and tap the left shoulder. Pause for one second and then return to the start position. Next, repeat this pattern lifting the left hand off the floor and tapping the right shoulder.

To correct faulty movement and improve neuromuscular control, begin with slow controlled alternating taps for 5-10 repetitions or time, stopping once fatigue or loss of control sets in. It may be necessary to provide tactile cues if the trunk moves excessively as you want the minimize rotational movement.
