Day 14 - Ready, Set, PLANK!

Happy Day 14 everyone!  Today's challenge is the plank, the exercise we all love to hate.  *smile*

Starting position:  Face down on the floor, toes tucked under, forearms flat on the ground.  When you are ready, you will support yourself on only your forearms and toes.  Hold for a count of 25, recover for 30 seconds and do it a second time & feel free to repeat as needed throughout your day...  Things to keep in mind:  Keep your bottom down, you want to imagine you have a board running from your neck down to your feet, you want a straight line.  You can modify this if you need to: have your knees as the lower contact point; again keeping in mind you want that straight line from your shoulders down (think of that ramp we talked about on push-up day!)

Have a great day!  Until tomorrow...
