Planks: we LOVE to HATE them. But man do they work to create strength and stamina from the inside out. Here’s my top 5 tips to getting the most out of every plank.

  1. Create your best diagonal from the top of your. head to your hips to your heels. If you’re opting for a plank on your knees, it’d be from your head to your hips to your knees.

  2. Draw your navel up and in at a diagonal between your shoulder blades.

  3. Broaden your collar bones to lift off your wrists - or elbows, if you’re choosing a forearm plank.

  4. Lift your heart to broaden the space between shoulder blades, without rounding.

  5. Narrow your outer hip bones without gripping your booty. This activates your low belly for healthy conditioning and flat abs!
