This week, we’re having fun with a simple group plank train!
This exercise focuses specifically on core and balance – and really, like any plank, it’s surprisingly effective at working your entire body. It’s a great challenge and a lot of fun, especially since it’s social.
For this one, the photos are pretty self-explanatory! Just prop your feet on the shoulders of the person behind you. (If you’re the caboose, you’ll be doing a normal plank.) If you don’t have someone to try it with, place your feet on a bench, bosu or ball for the same fitness effect!
