Light as a feather, stiff as a board!...It's time to PLANK! Planking has
great exercise VALUE because not only does it involve your entire core, but also
you can plank anywhere - no gym required! Perhaps no other single exercise
strengthens your entire core as effectively as planking, recruiting your
rectus-abs, transversus-abs, obliques, hips, lower-back and more. But
before you yawn out of boredom or claim you've "been there and done that in yoga
class", check out my video below where I demonstrate at least 12 different
variations of the plank, beginning with the most basic, to more advanced.
Towards the end I even incorporate weights, stability ball and suspension
straps! While not intended to be a sole workout in and of itself, at least
now you will have plenty of planking options to refer to during your other
functional & core workouts. And if you happen to be a surfer, this will
really help your 'pop-up', when you go from prone to standing in one move!
So check it out below the jumppbreak!...
