Plank

• Tuck toes under (unless specified in the syllabus)
• Take weight on balls of feet and hands
• Place your hands directly under your shoulders and push your shoulders away from your ears – long neck
• Keep a straight line from the crown of the head to the heels
• Think of your head as an extension of your back and keep your eyes focused on the floor
• Squeeze your glutes to stabilise the body
• Keep your core engaged and don’t let the lower back sag or lift
• Holding a plank position with the correct technique and your navel pulled in towards your spine is the BEST way to improve your abdominal strength.
