Hi, my name is Dalena Bologna and I'm working today with Logan McNeely.
Today, we are going to do the plank.
The plank is a full core body exercise engaging your abdominals and your back.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna start out with a modified plank.
We're gonna start out on your elbows.
Your elbows need to be directly underneath your shoulders.
For a modified plank you'll start out on your elbows,
holding that body straight across, keeping the abdominals tight,
pushing through your knees all the way through to your upper body.
For a more challenging, what you're going to do is lift
your knees up, keeping your body straight in line and across.
Making sure that your bottom's not too far down so you don't hyperextend your back
or your bottom too far up to where you're not engaging the core
and exercising what you need to be doing.
You're going to hold the plank for as long as possible.
Uhm, goal being a minute.
But, uhm, overall just holding it as long as you possibly can.
Thank you.
