1. Begin in a plank position on your stand up board out on the water. Make sure that you are centered in the middle of the board so that you don’t rock from side to side.

2. Keeping your shoulders, hips and knees in line, bring your right knee up to touch your right elbow. Keep your back straight and use your abdominal muscles to do the work for you. Don’t let your hips sag or raise up.

3. Return your right leg to the starting position and repeat the exercise with your left leg. Continue for 3-4 sets of between 16-32 repetitions at a slow tempo to strengthen your core!

Stop this exercise immediately when your form becomes compromised or your low back starts to hurt.

Please consult with a physician before starting any exercise program.
