I Love To Plank

Planks are an extremely effective way to engage your entire core.  All fitness levels can perform a plank of some sort; whether it be modified or advanced.  Doing crunches is so 10 years ago.  The fitness world has evolved and science has helped show that there are many more efficient ways to work your core than doing the standard crunch. 

Having a strong core is sexy and healthy.  It helps maintain posture, gait and inner core muscles the support your joints & organs.  The bio-mechanics of your walking, jogging, sitting & running will improve with core strength.  You may find that simple everyday tasks are easier because you have a stronger core.  It literally improves your quality of life!

I found a great plank workout on Women's Health.com.  I incorporated the exercises into my own template and changed some of the sets & reps for my personal goals; along with mixing other exercises in with them.

Happy Tuesday!

peace & love
