Need A Reason To Plank.

It's hard to find time for fitness . . . I get that BUT it's also SO important to find time for fitness especially as we age.  We need to take care of our bodies, minds and spirits as we age so we have the strength and stamina to do everything we WANT and HAVE to do.  And here's the good news fitness takes care of all three areas.  When we exercise (for our bodies) we are also doing something that takes care of our brain cells (our minds) and we already know moving makes you feel better about yourself (our spirit).  Exercise is the BEST mood enhancer!!

If you don't think you can find time to exercise than I want you to add in at least ONE exercise that I think does it all and will help you get going . . . . THE PLANK!!  Planking tones and strengthens ever part of your body - shoulders, back, arms, core/abs, hips, butt and legs!!!  And it only take a minute or two everyday so you DO have time.

Need more reasons  . . .

  • You can do it anywhere and anytime.  In your bedroom, living room, outside, while you are on vacation.  You don't need any equipment, not even a mat.  Just get down and hold a plank for a minute or more.
  • It's better than sit-ups and crunches for your core.  Enough said. :)
  • Planking improves posture and balance.  A strong core helps you stand taller and increases stability in your body which is crucial for balance.
  • It reduces your risk of injury.  
  • It gives you definition in your arms and shoulders.
