Don't Tank Your Plank!
Ready for a core challenge that involves more Advanced Plank variations? If your Plank Didn’t Stank after our Beginning to Intermediate Plank Moves post, then try these 3 progressions to strengthen your abs and torso.
No Tankin’ on your Plankin’!
If you find your hips Twistin’ the Night Away, then back up one progression until you can hold fairly steady and level. Remember that you get results where you put tension. So if you can relax your face and push long through your elbows and down with your shoulders, you’ll put the focus into your core and out of the face and neck. Oh, and BREATHE! It’s free and oh so helpful when holding a plank.
Working toward having Fab Abs altogether? Do we have a deal for you! Take a look at Get Fab Abs: Part 1 But wait, that’s not all! For the same low, low price, you also Get Fab 6-Pack Abs: Part 2 What’s that you say? You want even MORE info and ideas to Get No-Flab, Fab Abs: Part 3. Try them all! Why not, as they are great ab exercises that will give you a strong core.

Hmm, dear MizFit, I doubt you need these moves, as you are probably already doing all of them while floating a foot off the floor – you are that strong! But you are welplank!

Very nice! I seriously need this for my core. Just pinned!

Hey Ericka, thank you for pinning this workout. It’s actually really tough to do the arm & leg combo. I have to use a mirror to make sure my butt stays down.

These were so, so good! I will try as soon as I shake this dang flu bug. : )

Sounds great Marcia. You’re right – this wouldn’t be fun while you’re sick. It’s not fun at all, really! But it is a wonderful exercise.

Lindsay, did you try it? That leg & arm combo is really hard. When I was first learning it, my butt went up all the time. We have a CXWorx class we teach that has 22 of those at the end of a song full of planks. Gah.

Really ladies?! I have hardly perfected the beginner planker and now you are making me REALLY up my game! Time to get my plank on!
Talia @ Bite Size Wellness recently posted..No money, no time? Get fit at home!
Yes, really! Why don’t you save this one for later and first perfect your beginner planks? That way it will be much more fun….and drawn out.
