During the transition from High Plank to Low Plank, which movement occurs?

• A. Shift forward two inches and lower halfway down hugging your elbows into your side body.
• B. Step your feet forward.
• C. Move hips up.
• D. Keep arms straight and lower chest to floor.

Answer: (A)

Transitioning from High Plank to Low Plank is about a controlled descent by bending the elbows and keeping them hugged into the sides, while you maintain a strong, straight line from heels to crown. You shift forward a touch so your shoulders stay over your wrists, then lower halfway down with the chest moving toward the floor while the elbows bend and stay close to your ribs. This setup protects the shoulders and keeps the core engaged for the next movement. Stepping the feet forward would change the position of the transition, while lifting the hips or keeping the arms straight would put you into a different pose or motion, not the low-plank transition.
