Required Equipment

Suspension Trainer

Abdominals (rectus abdominis); Deep Core (transverse abdominis)

Obliques; Spinal Erectors (erector spinae)

Securely anchor a suspension trainer above ground level.
Adjust the length of the suspension trainer straps so that when you are in the plank position, your body is suspended a few inches above the ground.
Start by lying face down on the ground and slip your feet into the suspension trainer loops.
Position your elbows directly under your shoulders and clasp your hands together.
Engage your core and lift your body up into a plank position, with only your forearms and feet (in the suspension trainer loops) in contact with the ground.
Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
Hold this position for a set duration while ensuring you maintain a neutral spine and avoid sagging in the hips. Your core should remain engaged, and your body should be stable.
To ensure proper form, keep your shoulders away from your ears, and avoid locking the elbows.
When you've completed the duration, carefully lower your body back down.
Ensure to breathe normally throughout the exercise.
