Front plank
Core · Learning · in seconds held
Why it helps your running
A core that doesn't collapse under impact: your leg power reaches the ground instead of leaking away.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
How to do it
- On your forearms and toes, elbows under your shoulders.
- Squeeze your glutes and tuck your hips slightly: keep your lower back flat.
- Push the ground away with your forearms, eyes between your hands.
Common mistakes
- Your hips sag and your lower back arches.
- Your butt pikes up in the air.
