If You Only Do 1 Exercise to Get Stronger, This Should Be It

This is an intense move for your core, legs, and upper body. When holding an elbow plank, be sure your shoulders are stacked over your elbows and your body is in one straight line.

• Start on the floor, resting on your forearms and knees.
• Step your feet out one at a time, coming into a plank position.
• Contract your abs to prevent your booty from sticking up or sinking. Your spine should be parallel to the floor, with your abs pulling toward the ceiling.
• Hold for 30 seconds, and work your way up to one minute as you get stronger.
