Overview
The straight plank donkey kick is an exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis or six-pack muscles. To perform the straight plank donkey kick, start in a straight plank position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands shoulder-width apart in front of you. Then, keeping your core engaged, raise your right leg up behind you as high as you can without arching your back. Hold for a second, then lower your leg back down. Repeat with your left leg. Continue alternating legs for 10-12 repetitions on each side.
