Plank

Rating: (2 Ratings)

Start on the ground facing down with your knees bent and your hands in front of you. Then, get into position by extending your legs in back of you so that they are resting on your toes; your weight should be supported by your forearms, flat on the ground. Your upper arms should form a right angle with your forearms. Tuck your butt in so that your back, butt and legs form a straight line. Hold for as long as you can, then repeat 10 times.

These are the best. They helped me lose several inches. I still do them everyday to help keep my stomach flat.

I don't repeat 10 times. I just hold for a minute and then stop.

Is it better to to 10 shorter timed ones or 1 longer timed one? I've been doing these every morning for several weeks building up my time. Right now I can hold the plank for 5 mins. and 45 seconds and 5 minutes on a reverse plank.

  Those are awesome times!!! I'm officially jealous :) I'm no expert, but I'm sure it would be more beneficial to do 10 more controlled ones, as doing one really long one can get out of control (in terms of posture)
