ELBOW PLANK

Paula De La Calle and Carla Prada 4ºB

What muscles are working during the exercise?

  • The front wall of the abdomen, that is, the six-pack.

Our expert advice

  • Keep a straight line between your hips and head.
  • Contract your buttocks, so as not to arch your back and stop your abdomen from working.
  • Push your forearms towards the floor: don't let your spine "sink" between your shoulders.
  • Keep your eyes between a point between your hands, not in front of you (this could damage your neck)
  • Do not hold your breath

Incorrect

Correct

Raise the hips in an inverted V-shape, which puts the weight on the shoulders.
Keep the body aligned with the internal muscles of the abdomen activated.
Align hip and head.
Dropping the hip, which can result in back injuries.
Placing elbows too far away from the body.
Elbows should be always under the shoulders.
Avoiding these mistakes, which are quite common, will reduce the risk of injury and make your plank much more effective.
