Do you want upper arms of steel, rock-hard abs, and a sculptured back to match? Then look no further than this demonstration of the plank by our PT-in-chief, Tiara Soemakno. If you’re no good at doing push-ups (that would be me), then this is the perfect isometric exercise targeted to train endurance in the same muscles used for doing push-ups. Despite its simple-looking execution, it actually reaps plenty of benefits if done properly. The plank is widely used in yoga and pilates, and it requires no equipment to execute.
This is the third out of four exercise instruction series with Tiara (click for part 1 and 2). Look out for the final instalment next week, and happy planking!
