The Pushup to Plank

This exercise is exactly what it sounds like,  combo of the pushup and the pilates-based long arm plank. The primary movers are core, chest and triceps.

Lie face down on a mat or towel. Place your hands underneath your shoulders and engage your core. Push up into a full long-arm plank position. Keep your legs, arms, head and spine straight. Walk your arms out laterally and perform a pushup. 
Lowering down to a 90-degree angle at your elbow join, then back up. Move your hands back to position #1. Perform as many as you can do at once! And repeat three times.
