Plank Progressions 3.0

Plank progressions 3.0 – Dynamic Options – Advanced

  • This video is focusing on the very versatile and modifiable core exercise known as a plank
  • The plank exercise helps you to strengthen both your back and your abdominal muscles at the same time. This helps to create muscular balance and can improve posture.
  • Remember to take your time getting up or down off the ground. When performing your plank remember to keep breathing.
  • The only equipment you need is your own body weight and maybe a mat or towel for your elbows or hand to rest on.
  • Planks 3.0 takes our original Plank Progression video and the advanced Plank Progressions 2.0 another step further – focusing on more plank options that are dynamic (involve movement) – Some options can even have a cardiovascular component
