Ah...the wonderful PLANK! 
Find this position, either on hands, or elbows and hold to maximum length of time.



Top 5 Benefits of doing Planks

1. Works your upper abs, your lower abs, your oblique’s, and your lower back (do standard and side planks to work your entire abs).
2. Builds the stabilizer muscles to prevent injury.
3. Builds strength for push-ups.
4. Promotes good posture and helps prevent back injuries.
5. Teaches your abs to stay contracted in a regular standing position.

Planks can be done anywhere without any special equipment. Challenge yourself by adding a little something else:
