The Elbow Plank is one of the most effective total body exercises there is and because it's an isometric hold (meaning you're not moving, just holding), it's brilliant for building deep, functional strength without any impact. đź’ś
From kneeling, lower down onto your forearms so your elbows are directly under your shoulders. Step your feet back and lift your knees, holding your body in one long, straight line from head to heels. Press into your forearms, engage your core and breathe.
Common mistakes to watch for 👇
• Hips too high — lower them back to that long line
• Hips sagging down — imagine someone has a piece of string under your tummy pulling it up
• Holding your breath — keep breathing!
✨ Benefits:
• Builds deep core, shoulder and glute strength simultaneously
• Improves full body postural stability and endurance
Start with 20–30 seconds and build up over time. Even a 10-second hold done well is more valuable than a 60-second hold done poorly. 💪
