Koegel is a huge fan of planks: "You can modify or progress every plank to serve your body at your specific journey. Forearm planks are specifically great for people with wrist issues, and can be modified by dropping knees to the ground."
- Laying flat on your belly, place your forearms flat on the mat with your elbows directly below your shoulders and your palms flat on the ground.
- Pressing into the floor, lift your torso and legs into the air (keep your feet on the ground!) creating a long line from the crown of your head to your toes.
- Aim to hold a forearm plank for 20 seconds without taking a break — if the position feels solid and steady where breath can be maintained, try adding on 10-second increments until you need a break.
- Go for 3-4 rounds, resting half the time spent holding the position — for example, 20 seconds working and 10 seconds resting. Or, if you were able to hold for 40 seconds during one increment, rest for 20 seconds before going for another round.
