EXERCISE OF THE MONTH: FEBRUARY.

Plank

ELBOW PLANK

Benefits:
Having strong abdominals is key to a flat and toned stomach. Working your core will also help to support your back, helping to give you perfect posture.

How to do it:

  • Position yourself on all fours, resting on your knees and elbows, keeping your back straight.
  • Extend one leg behind you and press your toes into the floor, then do the same with the other foot.
  • You are now supported on your elbows and toes.
  • Tighten your abdominal muscles to keep your body as straight as a plank, without sagging or lifting your bottom up.
  • Hold this position for 15 seconds (increase hold to 1 minute as you get stronger).
