Hey everyone! It’s that time again—Workout Wednesday! Today, we’re diving into a fantastic core-strengthening exercise: the one-arm plank. This move is a great way to challenge your stability and build strength in your arms, shoulders, and core.
How to Perform the One-Arm Plank
To get started, find a comfortable space on the floor. Begin in a standard plank position, balancing on your toes and forearms. Next, shift your weight onto one arm, lifting the other arm straight up towards the ceiling. Keep your body as straight as possible, engaging your core to maintain balance. Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds, then switch arms. If you’re new to this, don’t worry if you can’t hold it for long—just do your best!
