Although we’ve had many plank challenges before we’ve never explained (in pictures) how to do a regular plank! This is a great exercise that you can do anywhere and anytime. It strengthens your entire core and also many other parts of your body. We include planks every single day in our She Sweats Workout Plans!

Having the correct form is key! Once you are ready you can take your planks to another level with these plank variations.

Let us be your personal trainers with our detailed 4, 6 and 12 week She Sweats Workout plans! We guide your workout each day, telling you exactly what to do and what intensity to work at. We have everything you need! Find out more!

HOW TO DO A PLANK

  1. Get into a push-up position. Lower onto your elbows.
  2. With your knees and arms around shoulder-width apart hold this position as long as possible with good form.
  3. Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows.
  4. Engage your core by drawing your stomach in, careful not to sag or bend your bottom.

Keep a journal of your plank times to watch how you improve!
