🚨 Correctness of the Plank in the Hang 👇

🔥 How to hold a plank position

1. Get into pushup position on the floor.
2. Now bend your elbows 90 degrees and rest your weight on your forearms.
3. Keep your torso straight and rigid and your body in a straight line from ears to toes with no sagging or bending.
4. Your head is relaxed and you should be looking at the floor.
5. Hold the position for as long as you can.
6. Remember to breathe. Inhale and exhale slowly and steadily.
7. When your form begins to suffer, pull the plug. You’re only benefiting from the plank by actually doing the plank.

✅ How to improve your plank time gradually

1. Start with the easier variation if needed. You can start with a bent-knee plank if you can’t perform a regular plank yet. If you can hold a plank for more than two minutes with ease, you can move on to these tougher variations.
2. Practise every day. Space your planking exercise throughout the day and do 3-4 times every day. Try to hold the position 10 seconds longer each time.
3. Perform other body-weight exercises at the same time. Push-up and squat will improve your core strength too.
