Muscles Worked

Front

Primary: core, transverse abdominis, glutes, shoulder stabilizers

How to do it

Start face-down, resting on your forearms with elbows directly under your shoulders. Lift your body so it forms a straight line from head to heels, supported by forearms and toes. Hold for time.

Form Tips

Don't let your hips sag or pike up — your body should be a rigid plank. Squeeze your glutes and brace your core as if taking a punch.
