Planks are like a pair of jeans that just "fit" — they never go out of style. They tighten up the belly and even improve your posture so you stand tall and confident. Just like that pair of jeans, the more you do planks, the better they get and the easier they are.
Konforti's Trainer Tip: "To make sure your core is doing the work — and getting the rewards — you'll want to be lined up properly. Make sure that your head to your heels is one straight line. Avoid making a tent or hammock shape with your body. Then, instead of just holding the plank, make a conscious effort to squeeze your core. You'll know if you need a break or if your core isn't activated if your lower back starts to hurt. Try making this exercise harder by walking your elbows out past your shoulder. Go slow; it's tougher than it sounds!"
