🎯 Main Focus
Shoulders, core, chest, arms, and overall body stability.
💪 Difficulty
Beginner to intermediate. Focus on stability before speed.
How To Perform Shoulder Taps
Start In A Strong Plank
Place your hands underneath or slightly wider than your shoulders. Extend your legs behind you and keep your body in a straight line.
Brace Your Core
Tighten your stomach and keep your hips as level as possible. Avoid twisting your body from side to side.
Tap The Opposite Shoulder
Lift one hand from the floor and slowly tap the opposite shoulder. Keep the supporting arm strong and stable.
Alternate Sides
Return your hand to the floor and repeat on the other side. Continue alternating while maintaining control.
⭐ Shoulder Training Tip
The goal is not to tap your shoulders
as quickly as possible.
Try to keep your hips quiet while
your hands move. The less your body
rotates, the more control you are
developing.
Controlled repetitions are
better than rushed repetitions.
Focus on stability, balance, and
clean movement.
💪 Growth & Strength
Begin with around
8–15 taps per side
while maintaining good form.
If the movement is difficult,
widen your feet slightly. This
gives you a more stable base.
As you become stronger, bring
your feet closer together or
increase the number of controlled
repetitions.

⚠️ Safety First
Use a stable, non-slippery surface
and make sure your hands are firmly
planted before beginning.
Avoid excessive twisting through
your hips or lower back.
If you cannot keep your body stable,
slow down or use an easier variation.
Stop if you experience sharp,
sudden, or unusual pain.
