This means it makes your shoulders and the muscles in your middle stronger. It works several muscle groups at once, making it efficient.

It's a moving exercise, so it also helps with balance and coordination. This is because you need to control your body as you move.

Because it's not too hard, almost anyone can do it, no matter what their fitness level is. Beginners and experienced exercisers alike can benefit.

Doing this exercise regularly will make you stronger overall and better at sports. Improved strength translates to better performance in many activities.

Better Core Strength: This exercise needs you to use your stomach muscles (abs and obliques) a lot. This makes your core stronger and more stable.

Improved Body Coordination: The Elbow Touch and Lift improves how well your upper and lower body work together. This helps with balance and other movements.

Fewer Injuries: Stronger shoulder muscles from this exercise can help protect your shoulders from getting hurt during other workouts.

Overall Fitness Improvement: By learning this exercise, you'll improve your overall fitness and make your workouts more effective.

Engage your core muscles: Tighten your stomach muscles. This helps keep your body steady and prevents your hips from moving.

Lift and touch: Lift your right hand off the ground and reach across your body to touch your left elbow. Keep your body as straight as possible.

Return to plank: Put your right hand back down on the ground in the plank position.

Lift and twist: Now, lift your right arm straight up towards the ceiling. This is like twisting your body slightly to the right.

Return to plank again: Bring your right arm back down to the plank position.

Switch sides: Repeat steps 3-6, but this time lift your left hand to touch your right elbow, and then lift your left arm towards the ceiling.

Keep going: Do as many repetitions as you want, alternating sides each time.

Important tip: Remember to keep your core (stomach muscles) tight throughout the exercise. This will help you keep your body stable and prevent injuries.

Reverse Push-Ups with Elbow Lift: This exercise is like a regular push-up, but you lift one elbow towards the ceiling as you lower your body. This works your triceps (back of your upper arm) and shoulders, and helps with balance.

Dumbbell Alternate Z Press: This exercise uses dumbbells. You lift one dumbbell straight up over your head while slowly lowering the other. This strengthens your shoulders and helps you have equal strength on both sides of your body.

Lying Elbow to Knee: Lie on your back and bring one elbow towards the opposite knee. This exercise is mainly for your core muscles (your stomach and back muscles) and helps with coordination and flexibility. It's similar to the twisting motion in the Elbow Touch and Lift.

These exercises all work similar muscles to the Elbow Touch and Lift, but in different ways. Try them out to find what you like best and what helps you reach your fitness goals.

Dumbbell Alternate Z Press: This exercise is done sitting down. It helps make your shoulders stronger and steadier, and it also works your tummy muscles.

* Unlike the Elbow Touch and Lift (which you do lying down), the Z Press lets you lift weights straight up. This is good because it helps both sides of your body be equally strong.

Reverse Push-Ups with Elbow Lift: This exercise works your arm muscles (triceps), shoulders, and upper back. It's like a regular push-up, but you lift your elbow as you push up.

* Lifting your elbow makes this push-up harder and helps make your shoulders and tummy muscles stronger.

Both exercises are great ways to change up your workout and still work the same muscles as the Elbow Touch and Lift. Give them a try and see which one you like best!

Take your time: Don't rush through the exercise. Slow and controlled movements are better. This lets you feel the exercise working and helps prevent injuries.

Put your hands right: Make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders. This keeps your body balanced and prevents strain on your joints.

It also helps you get better at coordinating your movements.

To get the most out of this exercise, it's really important to do it correctly.

Focus on moving slowly and smoothly, controlling your body throughout the whole exercise.

This exercise will help your shoulders get stronger because you're using your shoulder muscles to lift and control your arms.

Your core muscles will also get stronger as they work to keep your body stable and balanced while you move your arms.

Improving coordination means that your brain and your body will work together better. This helps with other activities too!
