Plankity, Plank, Planks

Ahh...yess...I can hear the groans. I know how much yinz guys LUVS the planks, so I thought I'd feature a little plank variation this week. C'mon!!!! Give it a try!!!!

This is a Side Plank:

Lie on your side with your left leg on your right leg, and your right elbow in line with your right shoulder. Keep your back in a straight line, lift your hips and torso, so you are balancing on your forearm and foot. Your body should form a straight line from head to toe. Hold for as long as you can.

Is this too easy for ya? If it is, you can increase intensity by lifting the top leg. Hold it up in the air as long as you can.

Do 4 holds per side.
