Plank Leg Lifts
Standard planks are excellent for the upper body and core. Incorporate leg lifts to intensify the exercise, engaging the buttocks and upper legs. Begin in a plank position, ensuring your body forms a straight line from head to heels. Lift one leg a few inches off the ground, keeping it straight, and then return to the initial position. Alternate legs for each repetition.
Step-Ups
Like single-legged squats, step-ups target the thighs, hips, and buttocks. Utilize a knee-height plyometric box or raised platform. Step onto the center of the box with one foot, ensuring a stable step-up motion. Lower yourself back down and repeat, alternating legs. [4]
