back-buttonBACK

Welcome to Workout Wednesdays! For the month of march I will be highlighting an exercise that is commonly done incorrect and highlight ways to make sure you have the best form and are performing these exercises in the safest way possible. Todays exercise is Planks. Planks are a great way to engage the core and back muscles. Planks can be done either on the hands or elbows and can be done at an angle (using a chair) for low impact, or on the ground. If done incorrectly, a plank can lead to lower back and shoulder pain. Here are some steps to take to ensure good food during a plank: - Whether doing them on the elbows or hands, line elbows or hands directly under the shoulders- not too far forward or back - Maintain a neutral spine- keep your back straight and try not to elevate the gluten or arch the back - Maintain core engagement during duration of plank Be sure to check in with your form next time you try a plank up to maximize the benefits and reduce injury!
