Exercise of the Month: Planks

Once a month I am going to post a video showing the “exercise of the month.”  Planks are a great way to strength the core isometrically, otherwise known as strengthening the muscles in a stabilizing fashion.  For beginners, one can do this exercise on the knees.  Be sure to keep the belly drawn in to protect the low back.  This exercise can be done 2-3 times a week, for 1-3 sets, holding for 15 seconds until fatigue.  Discontinue exercise if you experience low back pain.   Click on “Plank Exercise” link below for video.   Happy training!
