6b. EXTENDED PLANK

Reps: 15 Rest: 60-90 secs, then repeat 6a Sets: 3

Assume a press-up/straight-arm plank position – your body should form one straight line from your head to your heels, with no lifting or sagging at the waist and no rounding through the back.

Squeeze your entire core, your glutes and your quads, and tuck your backside under a little to keep your lower back in good alignment.

Maintaining this position, and keeping torso movement to an absolute minimum, ‘step’ both hands further out.

Hold for one second, then step back to the start.
