Plank – The Godfather of Core Training Exercises
Why is PLANK the most used core training exercise in the world? The answer is obvious – it’s simple, powerful and doesn’t need extra gear. Learn here how to do it right!
Lie with your face down with your forearms on the floor pointing straight forward, palms on the ground, your feet together and your spine in a neutral position. Your feet should be touching or no more than an inch apart. Lift your body up on your forearms and toes, keeping it as straight as possible. Your head is relaxed and you should be looking at the floor. Keep your torso straight and rigid and your body in a straight line from head to heels. Don’t let your hips/knees drop, your butt raise, and don’t shift weight to one forearm. Hold for 30 sec to 3 min.
