My Top 10 Training Exercises....#10-Plank

Do people really know the best exercises to reach their goals? If so, most are not doing them.

So I thought I would give a list of ten exercises that really "bring value" to your workout.

Coming in at #10.......

#10= The plank aka the supine bridge

In this move, you are on your forearms and toes and you hold your body off the ground isometrically.


Why it is a great choice:

Great for abs and low back.
Great for athletic populations since builds basic core strength.
Almost no risk so a great choice for people with low back issues. Since some low back pain can be lessened with a core strengthening program, this has great health implications. Even great for kids since no weights are needed.
You need no equipment.
Work up to 2 minutes- It is harder than it looks!
