Plank

  1. Lie face down with your forearms on the floor, hands clasped, elbows under your shoulders, and toes tucked.
  2. Contract your abs and raise your belly, hips, and legs off the floor, keeping your body in line from head to heels. Don’t bend at the waist. Hold for 15 seconds the first week, then increase by 15 seconds each week. Do just one time.

Make It Easier Instead of tucking your toes under, bend your knees so your feet are completely off the floor. Keep your knees on the floor as you raise up, keeping your body in line from head to knees.

Make It Harder Add a dip. Slowly twist your torso, lowering your left hip toward the floor, and then come back up. Repeat the dip with your right hip.
