Elbow Plank


 


The Elbow Plank is great for the obliques, but is truly a total core workout. IT strengthens everything from your abs to your back to hips.

Muscles Targeted (In order of impact)

  1. Obliques
  2. Core Muscles

How to do Them

  1. Lay face down on the floor, using your elbows and forearms to hold you upper body off the ground.

  2. Keeping your forearms flat on the ground, lift your body up off the ground, so that the only parts of your body touching the ground are your elbows, forearms, and toes.

  3. Keep you back straight. Imagine your body as a straight board stretching from your neck down to your heels.

  4. Make sure that your butt does not stick up into the air. Remember the board.

  5. Hold for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes (or more if you can). Only do it for as long as you can keep good posture. If you lose form, you greatly reduce the impact on the targeted muscles and risk straining others.
