CORE Exercises Challenge*


The Plank is a classic when it comes to Core exercises. Those abs will be working overtime!

  1. Start with your feet at just a little less than hip width apart, now place your elbows down onto the mat directly under your shoulders.
  2. Keep your stomach and legs strong (this means your butt is not sticking up into the air and your knees are not bent), shoulder blades apart and your head in a neutral position.
  3. Now hold this position for as long as you can with good form and remember to breath. If you find yourself to be a Plank master (holding the plank for 4-5 minutes with good form) start progressing towards the letter "D".
*As with any exercise or workout routine, make sure you check with your doctor before attempting any new exercises.
