Elbow Plank

Kira Stokes, a NASM-certified trainer and creator of the Get Fit with Kira Stokes app, recommends doing planks to improve your core strength and stability.

  • Start face down on the floor resting on your forearms and knees.
  • Push off the floor, raising up off your knees onto your toes and resting mainly on your elbows.
  • Contract your abdominals to keep yourself up and prevent your booty from sticking up.
  • Keep your back flat — don't let it droop or you'll be defeating the purpose. Picture your body as a long straight board, or plank.
