Day 22 - Planks
By WWTW Fundraising on
We're moving onto Day 22 of our Longest Day 80 calendar and today's challenge features everyone's favourite - the plank.
Why planks?
The plank is excellent for core strength. A strong core is essential for:
- Supporting the spine
- Improving posture
- Reducing the risk of lower back pain
The challenge
Today's challenge is to complete an 80-second plank.
You don’t have to do all 80 seconds at once. Break it into manageable intervals that suit your fitness level. For example:
- 4 sets of 20 seconds
- 2 sets of 80 seconds
Adapt to whatever feels comfortable for you and, if you can, try extending your plank time beyond 80 seconds The key is to maintain good form throughout and remember to listen to your body to avoid injury.
Tips for success
- Maintain Proper Form: Keep your body straight from head to heels. Avoid sagging your hips or raising them too high.
- Engage Your Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to keep your body stable.
- Breathe Steadily: Focus on your breathing to help you maintain the position.
- Listen to Your Body: Take breaks as needed and don’t push beyond your comfort level.
Watch the video below where Dave demonstrates the proper technique:
