Plank Challenge
We are practicing planks and challenging ourselves to hold a plank using proper form for as long as possible; our starting point is to hold a proper plank for 20 seconds. Why? Did you know planks improve our core strength and our shoulder girdle? Did you know that if our shoulder girdle is strong that it increases our writing stamina and our neatness when writing? Other activities that can be practiced along with the plank at home are mountain climbers (using proper form) and rock climbing or bouldering. Check out the video below for proper plank technique.
