Fit Tip: Give the Plank a Try!

You don’t always need to do crunches to get a great ab workout. Try the plank!

The key is to pull in your abdominal muscles and hold them through the exercise. (See previous blog on engaging core). Keep your body straight with shoulders and elbows aligned. Hold up to a minute and gradually work up to 2 or 3 minutes. See Below.
