Progression of the plank exercise: Beginner to advanced.
This is your “order of operations”, if you will, for the progression of difficulty of the core plank exercise. I thought this would be a good video for everyone because it is not only a great core workout but if done properly it is a safe workout.
Notes of execution:
1) Don’t let lower back sag.
2) Don’t strain neck by forcing flexion or extension.
3) Engage glutes and core for full repetition.

And this last piece is gold! Try pulling the floor together. Picture the activity of dragging your elbows and your toes together, by doing this you will feel muscular engagement that you are probably not used to feeling!
Happy Planking
