Technique Tuesday: Plank

Let’s talk plank this ‘technique tuesday’. We start many classes with it and it’s our transitional move in Cardio30. Something so integral that strengthens your posterior chain and carves the front of your body deserves some breakdown.

Shoulders should be stacked over the wrists, armpits rotated in toward each other and head to heel a nice flat line. Push yourself away from the earth, relax your neck and fight for higher heels instead of flexed feet.

If you need a break, try going to down dog and then come back to plank instead of dropping the knees and losing all the work and your form. The time spent coming out of it will get less and less as you get stronger and hold longer.
