## Technique
1. Place yourself near an elevated surface, such as a Plyo Box, and turn your body sideways, holding yourself up on one extended arm.
2. Place your top leg's foot on the box and keep the other leg straight with the foot resting on the ground.
3. Hold for time, then repeat on the other side.
## Form tips
* Do not let the bottom shoulder elevate towards your ear: push away from your ear and pull the shoulder down towards your hip ( Shoulder depression).
* Do not bend at the hips: keep your upper body and legs in one plane.
* Do not let your hips drop: activate your inner thigh to push them up.
**Logging:** Work each side for the time indicated.
