PLANK DOWN UPS⎮ Up And Down Plank Exercise Tutorial ⎮ PLANKMAS DAY 9

PLANKMAS DAY 9

Today’s video features the Plank Down Ups, an advanced plank variation that works both your abs, shoulders & arms.

Just a little warning: It IS a very challenging plank variation that requires a lot of upper-body strength along with core strength. If the down up plank variation on the toes is too challenging, try doing the plank down up exercise on the knees! Whichever up and down plank variation you choose, make sure you’re able to keep good form and you will experience your strength increasing and technique improving over time!

WHAT IS PLANKMAS?

The main Plankmas Challenge is on my Instagram and I hope you’ll go check it out. It’s going to be a lot of fun! We’re doing planks and adding +15 seconds of plank time every single day for 24 days! Today is day 9 and we’re on 2 minutes and 15 seconds of planks. But don’t worry, if that’s too long for you to hold a plank, you can divide that into as many sets as you want. Everyone can do Plankmas and everyone is welcome, no matter your starting fitness level!

Over on YouTube, Plankmas means that I’m uploading 24 plank variation tutorials (!), one for every day until Christmas. You can find the full PLANKMAS 2019 playlist here. I’m adding a new video to the playlist every day!

In this ninth video in the series, I’m doing a plank down ups exercise tutorial. My goal is to show you how to do the up and down plank correctly, so we can safely do 24 days of planks without getting any injuries! Over the next 15 days, I’ll keep giving you daily uploads of some of my favorite plank variations and side plank variations so you can mix it up and have fun with the challenge!
