Plank is one of those core exercises (pun intended!) that will make almost every exercise you do easier and more efficient.
It’s a great way to train your core without putting strain (if done properly) on the lower back.
Your core muscles all work together to stabilize and support your spine and the rest of your body.
You already know all of the benefits of having a strong core- like maintaining a healthy back, better balance and stability, and better posture.
It’s a great tool in the toolbox to pull out for this week’s CHALLENGE!
This week, your challenge is to perform plank this week as follows:
• Monday (today): 2 total minutes in plank
• Tuesday: 4 minutes
• Wednesday: 6 minutes
• Friday: 8 minutes
• Sunday: 10 minutes
Here’s the deal: You can perform plank on your hands, on your forearms, or even a side plank for this challenge. You can switch it up and break it into as many sets as you need to be able to keep good form.
