Hi Everyone!
This was my workout yesterday. I alternated jump roping with 15 different plank variations to work the entire mid-section and back. Being able to do the plank with proper form results in more than just stronger abs, it also improves the strength and resilience of your low back. This helps prevent injury, and relieve low back pain.
If you aren’t sure if you have proper form ask someone, look at yourself in a mirror or have someone take your picture while you hold plank.
Although this is an incredibly effective exercise, it is often performed inaccurately.

| During Leg Lift Plank don’t allow the back to arch. Maintain a strong core throughout the movement to support the low back and activate the glutes. |
I hope you all enjoy this workout. Remember, if you don’t have a jump rope you can substitute high knees or mountain climbers in between planks.
Have fun!
Melissa
