Red Trunks = New Videos Part 1 (Switching Planks) www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with another video/blog post. In this entry I am performing a variation of one of the most effective yet simple exercise that everyone should do. It is the plank.

Since, the plank is a isolation exercise I decided that instead of bore ing viewers with just me holding a one minute plank, I decided to make it more interesting my making it dynamic and making it into a switching planks without tapping BOB. Here is a brief description of what the plank is and how to perform proper planks:

The plank is the most fundamental core exercise. It is the basis of many progressions to challenge and develop your core to its full potential.

Start: Lie flat on your stomach. Place your elbows and forearms on the floor. Your elbows should be aligned right below your shoulders.
Begin the motion: Lift your hips up so your body is parallel with the floor. Your forearms to fists and the balls of your feet should be the only body parts touching the ground.
It is very important to not arch your back ever during the plank. Always make sure you feel the muscles in your abdominal area doing the work.
You should have your core drawn in tight and your glutes tightly contracted. If your form breaks down, stop, rest, and repeat.


Well, folks thanks for tuning in. Peep out the TUBE at:
