Bodyweight Shoulder Tap
The shoulder tap builds shoulder stability and anti-rotation core strength from a push-up position. Hold a high plank and alternate tapping each shoulder with the opposite hand while resisting hip rotation.
How to Perform
Start in a high plank with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width.
Lift one hand and tap the opposite shoulder, keeping hips square to the floor.
Widen your feet for more stability if needed.
Return the hand to the floor and repeat on the other side.
Brace your core hard to prevent rocking side to side.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Allowing the hips to rock side to side, which defeats the anti-rotation purpose.
Rushing the taps and losing plank position.
Placing hands too narrow, making balance unnecessarily difficult.
