Partner Plank Instructions

  1. Start by lying face down on a mat or the floor, with your elbows bent and directly under your shoulders.
  2. Place your forearms on the ground, parallel to each other, and extend your legs straight behind you, resting on your toes.
  3. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine, and keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
  4. Once you are in the proper position, lift your body off the ground, supporting your weight on your forearms and toes.
  5. Hold this position for the desired amount of time, focusing on maintaining a straight line and keeping your core engaged.

Partner Plank Tips

  1. Start with a proper warm-up to activate your core muscles and prevent injury.
  2. Position yourself in a high plank, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line.
  3. Engage your abs by pulling your belly button towards your spine and squeezing your glutes.
  4. Avoid sagging or arching your back by maintaining a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
  5. Keep your head aligned with your spine, looking down at the floor to avoid straining your neck.
  6. Breathe deeply and exhale as you contract your abs, focusing on the mind-muscle connection.
  7. Challenge yourself by gradually increasing the duration of the exercise, aiming for longer holds while maintaining proper form.
