Straddle Planche

Description

The Straddle Planche is an advanced bodyweight exercise that requires significant strength and balance. Begin by placing your hands shoulder-width apart on the ground. Lean forward, keeping your arms straight and locked, and lift your legs off the ground, spreading them wide apart in a straddle position. Your body should be parallel to the ground, supported only by your hands. Engage your core and maintain a straight line from your head to your toes. Hold the position for as long as possible, focusing on balance and control.
