Trainer’s Tips
- Maintain a solid core, squeezing the abs, maintaining a hollow body position which keeps the lower back slightly rounded and doesn’t allow to arch.
- Keep your back straight back when in plank position, the whole body aligned in a straight line.
- When driving hips back to touch the toe don’t let the heels touch the ground.
