January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 10

January Plank Challenge

Day 10 of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge is here, and it’s time for another round of the plank exercise. Today’s goal is to do a 40, 80, or 120-second plank, depending on your fitness level. The plank is a great exercise for strengthening and toning the muscles in your core, including your abs, back, and hips, and it’s important to start slowly and gradually increasing the duration as you get stronger to avoid injury.

If you’re just starting out with the plank exercise, Level 1 (40 seconds) may be a good place to begin. or up the intensity with Level 2 (80 seconds) or Level 3 (120 seconds). Remember to keep your body in a straight line and avoid sagging or arching your back as you hold the plank position. Keep your core muscles engaged and try to maintain good form throughout the exercise.

It’s important to remember to breathe and keep a straight line from your heels to your shoulders as you do the plank. Avoid creating a pyramid shape with your body by sagging or arching your back – this can put unnecessary strain on your spine and lead to injury. Keep your core muscles engaged and try to maintain good form throughout the exercise. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
