How to perform it
- Get into a prone position on the floor, supporting your weight on your toes and your forearms. Your arms are bent and directly below the shoulder.
- Keep your body straight at all times, and hold this position as long as possible. To increase difficulty, an arm or leg can be raised.
Muscles worked
The Plank primarily targets your Abdominals. You'll need body only.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Plank slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
