Execution
How to do it
- 01
Place your forearms on a stable incline, elbows under your shoulders, and walk your feet back with legs straight.
- 02
Brace your abs and glutes: body straight from head to heels.
- 03
Hold the position without sagging your lower back or raising your hips.
- 04
Breathe normally while holding.
Letting your lower back sag. If your lower back hurts, stop.
Incline support to reduce difficulty compared with a floor plank. Sources: ACE — Front Plank. These cues do not replace a professional if you have pain or are in rehabilitation.
The decision
When this movement makes sense
It keeps a target in seconds and provides a more accessible variant with an explicit support.
Without a stable support, an imagined height does not become a configuration; another core option has to be chosen.
