Planks All Day

Planks are one of my favorite exercises! Planks work your entire core, from the top of your abdominals down to your hips and glutes, and also provide a great isometric exercise for your upper back and shoulders. The strength that planks provide will benefit your swim, bike, and run. It's difficult to get bored with planks, since there are so many variations. You can even get creative and make up your own plank exercises.
