The one-leg plank is simply a plank done with one leg elevated. You will be balancing on both forearms, but only one foot.
Step 1: Lower your body down into the standard plank position – stiff body, propped up on elbows and forearms, with toes on the floor. Lift one leg off the floor and hold this position.
Repeat for at least two sets, one per leg. Each should be held for 30-120 seconds.
