Comments and tips
>Don’t allow your hips to sag or your shoulders to hunch.
>The direction in which your fingers point while performing the high reverse plank doesn’t matter. You can point them forward, sideways, backward whichever is most comfortable for you.
>If your wrists hurt, you can support your body on your elbows, in which case the high reverse plank becomes the standard reverse plank
>Make the high reverse plank more difficult by placing a weight on your abdomen and/or elevating your feet so that your body is horizontal.
>The high reverse plank is a great bodyweight exercise for strengthening your core and the key muscles of your posterior chain, namely, your erector spinae (spinal erectors), gluteus maximus, and hamstrings. Since there is no movement, the muscles are exercised isometrically.
