1. THE PLANK
What is a plank? It is a full extension of the body in which one is on the floor, hands are placed flat on the floor either in a staggered fashion or in touching formation, and shoulders are raised off the floor so that the torso is in one straight line. The plank can be performed in static fashion (just standing there and taking a shot, or for a
more challenging version of this exercise, you can add a variation which involves the plank on elbows and toes), in this case, you will be standing at an angle for that shot and you may be in a bent position. (We’ll leave it there, as this will cover the same ground as your simple plank routine, but just to spice things up a little we’re going to add a few tips to get the most out of this exercise.)
