Ring Incline Plank

Setup:

• Adjust the gymnastic rings to a height that allows you to comfortably place your hands on them while leaning forward. The rings should be set at an incline, roughly at waist height.

Starting Position:

• Kneel down and grab the rings firmly with both hands. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart or slightly wider.

• Extend your body, leaning forward while keeping your knees on the ground. Your head should be positioned slightly in front of your hands.

Body Positioning:

• Keep your body straight from your head to your knees. Engage your core muscles to maintain a straight line. Your back should not sag or arch excessively.

• Your elbows should be slightly bent but not locked.

Movement:

• Slowly move your body backward, leaning through your arms, and hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds. Focus on maintaining a straight line in your body.

• Keep your core engaged and ensure your hips do not drop. Your hands should remain directly under your shoulders.

Return:

• To exit the position, gently pull your body forward back to the starting position.

Tips:

• Breathe deeply throughout the hold.

• If this is your first time doing the exercise, you can hold onto a stable surface for support.

• Adjust the height of the rings for your comfort level.

• As you progress, aim to extend your legs out to increase the challenge.
