Plank Three Ways

The plank exercise must be good because within 20 seconds I usually collapse in a heap. Here are three simple versions:

1) Bend your arms and rest on your elbows. Then simply keep your body in alignment holding yourself up with your tummy muscles for a count of 20.

2) From the elbows bent position bring yourself one arm at a time up to arms straight (the press up position), and then back down to arms bent. Repeat 10 times.

3) This time turn on your side and again rest on your elbow, keeping the rest of your body straight for a count of 20. If you are anything like me and my friend Nat then you might shake a bit but keep going!
