Let's build up upon the stable base that we worked on on all fours.
The video below talks you through the best way that I've found to get into a plank - a properly aligned plank, not just something that looks like you are gritting your teeth and hanging in for dear life.
When we are well aligned our load is spread efficiently through the body so things will actually feel EASIER! The most common mistake that I find with planks is that people want to make them FEEL HARD! Nooo, the challenge is in holding the alignment for longer and allowing the deeper muscles and stabilisers to build endurance, it's not about returning to poor alignment patterns and just toughing out!
If you get this fundamental difference then you will build REAL strength all over!
Go plank people, go plank :-))
