She can be seen doing high plank walks with animal jumps.

She said, “Targets: Shoulders, arms and core,” said Seth as she mentioned that they help test strength and stamina as they are high-intensity exercises.

“Keep checking your form to avoid any injuries,” she added.

She also suggested that one should be careful with their wrists and engage the core throughout. “Do not lean into the lower back,” said Seth, adding, “I had my trainer supervising me and constantly guiding me to maintain my form”.

She also thanked her trainer and said, “Thank you @little.more.open for making me push myself and for making the session so much fun.”

Varun Rattan, co-founder, The Body Science Academy said that the high plank walk is an exercise that can effectively target your shoulders and core. “Start this exercise by getting in the top position of a pushup with your toes on the floor, body in a straight line, core muscles engaged, and hands positioned shoulder-width apart. Walk sideways using hands and feet for two meters and then return to the starting point the same way,” he said.

For a more challenging workout, you can include animal jumps into the mix. Notably, animal jumps are considered an effective drill to develop the lower body strength and control. They are part of plyometric strength training and are best for someone who likes to add variety to their workouts.

“Animal jumps will not only strengthen your arms and legs but also raise your heart rate. Be mindful of your form while performing this combination as it can be quite exhausting for beginners. Before increasing your speed, focus on controlled movements to avoid injury,” added Rattan.

If you’re a beginner, remember to train under supervision of a qualified trainer.
