Plank Knee to Noodle

This is the aqua version of the Plank Knee to Chest exercise. This type of exercises I prefer to be done in the water, where your body is safely floating and your legs kicking against water resistance, than on dry-land. 

Planks are great for core muscles but they also work other muscle groups. Although performing it in the water is safer, you'd still want to keep a good posture during the exercise. 

Starting Position:
Lay on your front and hold the noodle down, under your chest with straight arms. Keep your legs straight, slightly below parallel. 

Action:
In an alternating motion, bring your knees toward the noodle. Keep the noodle still and your arms straight. Try to stay on your front all the time without leaning back. 

Breathing:
Bend twice with inhale and twice with exhale

Working Muscles:
Use your abs to bend your legs and your glutes to kick back. 

Tip: Try to touch the noodle with your knees
