How To Do A Plank Exercise

Planks are right up there with push-ups for me in terms of putting them in EVERYONE's workout programs.  It doesn't matter if you're looking to lose weight, get stronger, gain some muscle, or any combination of the 3 you HAVE to do Planks.

They work your abs and core much better than any crunch, sit-up or twisting exercise, and there are many different variations to fit your skill level.

The problem with Planks - just like push-ups - is that many people don't do them properly.  They have their arms out of position, let their stomachs sag and/or stick their butts up in the air.  All of those things decrease the effectiveness of one of the best abs and core exercises plus make it more dangerous and make you more injury-prone.

Here's a video showing you how to do a Plank along with a few Plank variations.
