Kick Start Your New Years: Exercise Day Twelve: Plank

Day 12 Exercise:
Plank
  • Lie face down on mat or towel resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor.
  • Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows.
  • Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels.
  • Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air or sagging in the middle.
  • Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.
I start shaking after a few seconds on this one, but it works your core something fierce!  It's a great way to help tone your body!

Day Twelve:  Easy Exercise Tip:
  • Trust in and have an accountability partner.  I find it so much easier to log in my exercises if I have someone to hold me accountable.  That person is the person who will push you and believe in you even if you don't want to do it that day.  So, choose wisely!  Choose someone who you know will be a good push to get you off your tush!
