I Don't Do Crunches in CrossFit, but Here Are 6 Core-Strengthening Plank Variations I Never Skip

Why I do it: This plank variation strengthens the upper body and core, and is good practice for strengthening and balancing in handstand walks.

• Begin in a plank variation with your feet slightly wider than your hips for added stability.
• Keeping your torso stable, bring your right hand to your left shoulder, then return your right hand back to the mat.
• Bring your left hand to your right shoulder and return it to the mat. This counts as one rep.
