Common mistakes
You let the hips pike up as fatigue sets in, turning the plank into a downward dog shuffle.
You bounce the shoulders back behind the wrists instead of keeping them stacked.
You tap the toes without actually driving the knee toward the chest, shrinking the range to nothing.
What to focus on
Grip the floor and push it away hard through the hands the whole time.
Keep the hips locked level so all the motion comes from the legs, not the torso bouncing.
Drive the knee to a full range on every stride, even when you slow down to do it.
