02 Mar Advanced Plank Progressions to Improve Performance
Before we dive into advanced plank progressions, we must first set straight what the core is and why core stability is so vital for our movement systemโs health and longevity. The core, from a muscular standpoint, is so much more than just a 6-pack of washboard arms. It essentially includes any and every that moves the trunk and aids in maintaining a neutral spine position.
This includes the popular โcore musclesโ such as the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and multifidus, but also other muscles such as the latissimus dorsi, quadratus lumborum, and pectoralis muscles.
