Stiff As a Board. Even for the short amount of time you stay in the plank exercise, your body is engaged through your arms, chest and core. To do the exercise, simply lift yourself onto your arms so that your hands and toes touch the floor, keeping your body aligned from head to toe.
To make it easier: Lower your knees to the ground, so instead of balancing on your toes you are in a modified plank position with your lower body supported by your knees. To make it harder: As you advance, aim to hold the plank 10 seconds longer each time until you reach 60 seconds. Challenging alterations: While in the plank position, lift one leg straight up in the air. This will force your core to compensate for the shift in balance.
