I am sure you have all probably heard of a basic plank, but what about these challenging plank variations <\/span>for every level<\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Planks not only work your abs but also recruit your legs, arms, shoulders and your entire core. Plank-based movements are the foundation of my training and really help build total<\/span>\u2013<\/span>body strength.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because you are not isolating a single muscle group. You are integrating many different muscle groups in a practical way that mimics real-life movement.<\/span><\/p>\n
