Hello Plankety Plankers....

So- now that home workouts are a thing, its time to nail the full workout. So here is the follow along video with the full 3 minute workout!

youtu.be/J_PmmKgjWVQ

How to do up/ down planks:

Bend one arm to bring the elbow and forearm to the floor. From the elbow plank bring each arm up and straighten one at a time so that you are then in a high arm plank, and then reverse. In both plank stages, remember to keep your core engaged, you pelvis tucked underneath you and keep your bum down so your body is a straight line. Continue, alternating the first side down with each rep.

Please do let me know how you get on...

Stay safe

Juju

Hi ju-ju Loved the routine those up down planks make for an "interesting" last 30 seconds. It was nice to get back to the elbow planks after the side planks as well almost like the flat bit on the top of a hill.

Still i'm sure this will get easier the more times i do it.

Thank You and Take Care

Hi ju-ju really no problem at all it's great you take the time to do this for us and that's enough honestly so thank you . Stay positive this too will pass as someone with far more wisdom than me once said, springs well on the way although it's a bit nippy today and then summer.The world will look a better place with some sunshine.

Take Care and keep well.

No need to apologise at all 😊 life is far from normal at the moment and we all just have to do what we need to do. Anyway, half of week 5 done 😉

No apologies needed, loving this plank challenge and determined to master the up down ones (eventually) Today’s run in the sunshine was a whole lot better than Saturday’s 5k in my living room, but a runs a run. 😊 Stay well x

Thanks so much for the videos, ju-ju! Really enjoying them, although I found the side planks took a bit of getting used to ... You make it look so easy, and still manage to talk and even smile! Great to have when we can’t get out so much at present. Keep well!😊

Wow those up/downs are a struggle, getting down on my elbows is fine but getting back up it turns out my right arm is a little weak (I'm a leftie), I just about managed but my form took a beating at the end!

Thanks for this, more practice needed 😉👍
