Time your planks and watch your core strength improve
How to plank:
Elbows on the floor beneath you shoulders and bring your back down to a straight position. Brace your abs and hold.
Common mistakes planking:
- Arching the back - this will put pressure on your spine. Widen your palms on the floor until comfortable.
- Dipping the hips - this will put strain on your back. Keep you hips raised and squeeze those glutes.
- Raising you head - Keep your head looking at the floor and in line with the rest of your body, you don't want to feel a strain in your neck. Bringing your chin closer in towards you as the plank gets tense is ok.
