Plank With Leg Raise

The heat is on in June! This month we will strengthen your midsection, abdominals, and lower back muscles. The core is very important for stability, posture, and keeping your spine healthy and mobile. As we age, our core muscles weaken, so it’s very important that we take time out of our day to strengthen this area of our body.

Exercise: Plank w/leg raises

How to perform: Position your body in a plank position and lift the right leg up. Keep your midsection engaged and avoid any wobbling or shaking while keeping both knees locked. You can also perform this exercise on your knee and build up to your knee off the ground.

Duration: Repeat for 10 repetitions on the right and left side.
