    I had no idea shaking was kind of a good thing when planking..I thought it simply meant I was THAT weak/out of shape. 😅 Thanks!

    I have never been told or realized that you’re supposed to push back your heels while planking. Not one trainer has told me this! Very helpful thank you!

  • @KennyLiang
    @KennyLiang 4 года назад +75

    Big thanks for the tip on the heels. Truly felt my core engaged and I could keep my heels together, instead of shoulder length apart. Plus shoulders/elbows were less fatigued

    • @redefiningstrengthOC
      @redefiningstrengthOC  4 года назад +10

    The regular plank is hard enough for me right now, but I won’t try holding it for a minute anymore. 30 seconds with proper form does get the shaking going.

    I watched this video over a week ago and wanted to apply the techniques I learned from it. I was able to with my coach, tonight during my warm up for boxing lessons. The cupping the hands and elbows out to help support the shoulders, tremendously helped my form. Thank you for sharing this tip. I feel a lot more confident during a plank.

    This video was so helpful I only wish I had found it sooner! You're completely right about focusing on planking longer. I've been trying to extend my planking time but I could barely get past 30 seconds. I just tried it again, following these tips and I got to 50 seconds! My max time had been 1m 30s but doing it this way felt so much better than watching the time until it hit a certain number and then trying to push past that lol. This is great improvement! Thank you so much for this video! =D

    Beautifully clear detailed explanation. You are the first person I have heard say to drive back through your heels. I have been wondering what is the proper position for your feet. Now I know. And it was great to hear hold harder not longer. Of course we have a tendency to think longer is better because we can see it. And I was concerned when I was shaking too, if that was a bad thing. Now I know it's a good thing.
