Plank With Shoulder Touches

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/shoulder touches

How to perform: Position your body in a plank position and touch your hand to opposite shoulder. Keep your midsection engaged and avoid any wobbling or shaking. You can also perform this exercise on your knees and build to off knees.

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