About

It's a plank motion that stretches your arms and supports your weight with your hands. If the basic plank position is difficult, you can develop muscle strength with a full plank first!

How to Full Plank

Starting Position

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and lie face down with your knees straight.

2. Place your hands under your shoulders and keep them fixed on the floor.

3. Engage your hips and core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Extend your elbows and maintain a position where your shoulders and arms are vertical, keeping your feet narrower than shoulder-width apart.

2. Imagine there is a long stick behind your back and align your head, waist, hips, and legs in a straight line.

3. Raise your toes, engage your core and glutes, and hold the position.

Breathing Technique

Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.

Precautions

Keep your body in a straight line and be careful not to let your back sag.
