The Front Plank Print E-mail
Friday, 04 November 2005
 

The front plank is an excellent exercise for overall core stability and endurance.

 

1.) Lie facedown, with your forearms resting on the floor.


2.) Push up off your elbows, supporting your weight on your elbows and toes.

 


3.)  Keep your head in line with your body. Draw your belly button towards your spine to keep your torso straight and your toes pulled towards your shins.


4.) Hold for allotted time. 

5.) When this becomes too easy, you can raise your opposing arm and leg, enhancing the support aspect of the hold.
