We get it, it’s the holidays; it’s hard to leave the house when there’s a fire roaring, treats on the counter, and family/friends gathered close. But be warned, the holidays are a month long! That’s 4 weeks for your body to go from taut to not. With our month plank challenge you can stay one step ahead of those New Year’s resolution makers. It’s hard to believe the power of the plank until you try it. You’ll build a strong core with this deceptively simple exercise.
Here’s some tips from our RAD trainer Tess, to plank your way to perfection!
-Place your forearms on the ground and line up your elbows directly underneath your shoulders.
-Curl your toes under and lift your body off the ground.
-Squeeze your glutes and tighten your abdominals. Do not let your hips sag!
-Maintain a neutral neck and straight line from your head to your toe.
how does a lady who has some age on them start running or planking
Start small! Take this 30 day challenge and make it 60, just cut the time we suggested in half ever day. It also could help to start planking on your knees and work up to straight legs and on your toes!
How many planks per set/day?
Just once a day for the seconds assigned each day!
