One set = three complete planks...for how ever many seconds you can hold them! PLANKS work your whole core... SPACE them out - throughout Your Day!!! EVERYONES' ability and level for planks is very different start out by doing each of them for a count of 5 or 10 seconds and work you way up to 30 seconds or even longer... Starting Position Begin this exercise by lying on your stomach with your forearms on the floor pointing straight forward, your feet together and your spine in a neutral position.
