45-Degree Plank for Men

45-Degree Plank

Start to get into a pushup position, but bend your elbows and rest your weight on your forearms instead of on your hands. Place your forearms on a bench. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Brace your core by contracting your abs as if you were about to be punched in the gut. Hold this position for 30 seconds--or as directed--while breathing deeply.

This move has been excerpted from The Men's Health Big Book of Exercises by Adam Campbell.
