How to Plank Properly

THE PLANK – Another popular exercise that seems simple to do yet there are still common mistakes. The top shows the ideal position to be in. 3 key points to remember for me are to PUSH YOUR HEELS BACK, SQUEEZE YOUR GLUTES (Your bum cheeks) TOGETHER AND DRAW YOUR BELLY BUTTON IN (Tighten your core). The middle shows the hips out of line, here we aren't activating the core properly – hips are too high. The lower picture shows an excessive lumbar curve, here we have no core activation either and we are straining our lower back – the last thing we want. You should be relatively flat with shoulders and hips in line. This is a great exercise for core stabilisation however please note you will not build washboard abs through it. It is however a good place to start if you need to strengthen your core. A regression here would be to drop the knees to the floor. I will post plank progressions in the coming weeks. If you would like to know any more about core based exercises drop me a DM. #puregym #puregympreston #plank #core #abs #coreworkout #glutes #workout #tip #technique #sunday #advice #strengthen #progress #exercise #stabilise #coreactivation #tva

Looking for some ab exercise variations? Give this ab circuit a go, ● 15 Reps per exercise ● 2 Rounds Using a kettlebell increases the load to increase the tension through your abs. It can even be done at home! I recommend starting with a 4kg kettlebell and working from there. Make sure you scroll through the videos so you don't miss any! I would always recommend doing your abs at the end of your workout. Let me know how you get on ???? #abs #ab #absblast #abcircuit #exercise #gym #workout #saturdaymotivation #motivation #puregym #preston #puregympreston #exercisevideo #exercisemotivation #feeltheburn #kettlebell

It has to be one of the most common questions asked in and around gyms, via DM’s in IG, pretty much everywhere. I am going to give you the truth, I am going to answer so that you don’t ever need to ask or wonder again.
