NO MORE IT DEPENDS FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND WITH PLANKS
Let’s start with what is a proper plank. In a simple context, it is you creating and keeping tension in ” core” with a fixed back position. We use this to break down who should plank and who shouldn’t.
Everbody should endless pain says other rises should plank. It’s like riding a bike you are never too old or to cool to do it just some people like to ride on trails, and some like to do triathlons.
Just like riding a bike, some people start and need to stay with training wheels a little longer than others. For us when picking who’s ready for a plank-like exercise, we look at current core strength, awareness of the body, and strength in the upper body.
