Common mistakes

  • You let the hips sag as you kick back, snapping into a saggy plank rep after rep.

  • You sprint the first few reps and blow up, instead of setting a pace you can hold for the whole set.

  • You skip the crouch and stand up with a rounded back straight out of the plank.

  • You land stiff-legged from the jump instead of absorbing it with bent knees.

What to focus on

  • Brace your core before the feet kick back so the plank lands tight every time.

  • Find a metronome rhythm you can repeat for the entire set; smooth is fast.

  • Fully extend the hips at the top of the jump so every rep finishes with intent.
