The Plank Pike

Send to a friend

Try this ab-toning exercise.

  1. Stabilize in plank position (resting on elbows) with elbows directly in line with your shoulders. Your spine and pelvis should be neutral. Squeeze together legs and glutes and draw belly button up, toward your spine. 
  2. From this position, exhale and draw your hips up, creating a small inverted "V." Then inhale and return to neutral plank position. Be careful to return to a straight plank and not to dip your hips lower.
  3. Repeat 8 times.
