Suspension Trainer Plank

Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer plank workout is a core exercise that primarily engages the abdominal muscles.

Using the suspension trainer adds instability, increasing the challenge for the abs without overstressing secondary muscles.

Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above you.
Position yourself facing the floor with your hands on the handles, arms extended, and your body in a straight line.
Engage your core muscles by squeezing your glutes and bracing your abs.
Hold this position for the desired duration, maintaining a straight body alignment and avoiding any excessive sagging or arching.
When finished, slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.

Start with the basics: Set the suspension trainer to a mid-length position and get into a plank position with your forearms resting on the handles.
Engage your core: Squeeze your abs and glutes to keep your body in a straight line from head to toe. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine.
Breathe and hold: Take deep breaths while holding the plank position. Aim for 30 seconds to start, gradually increasing the duration as you get stronger.
Challenge yourself: To intensify the exercise, try lifting one leg off the ground while maintaining proper form. Alternate legs for an extra challenge.
Don’t forget your shoulders: Keep your shoulders away from your ears and engage your shoulder blades by pulling them slightly towards your spine.
Stay focused: Avoid letting your hips sag or rise too high. Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise.
Listen to your body: If you feel any pain or discomfort, adjust your form or take a break. It’s important to prioritize safety and proper technique.
