THE DOLPHIN PLANK ⎮ Plank Exercise Variation ⎮ PLANKMAS DAY 22

PLANKMAS DAY 22

On my YouTube, PLANKMAS means I’m sharing a video with a new plank variation every single day throughout the holiday month. I want you to find inspiration and get creative with your planks!

Today’s video features THE DOLPHIN.

The Dolphin plank is a challenging plank variation that builds up strength in your shoulders and core. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced plankers as it can be adjusted to any strength level. If you’re a beginner, simply don’t go as far into the movement and you’ll still be able to work on your strength with the dolphin exercise!

Just like with any other plank variation, make sure to avoid the following mistakes:

1: Excessive arching of the spine
2: Butt in the air

The Dolphin plank targets your abs, hip flexors, and shoulders.

WHAT IS PLANKMAS?

The main Plankmas Challenge is on my Instagram.

Over there we’re doing planks every day and adding +15 seconds of plank time every single day for 24 days! Over on YouTube, Plankmas means that I’m uploading 24 plank variation tutorials (!), one for every day until Christmas.

In this twenty-second video in the series, I’m showing you the dolphin exercise tutorial. My goal is to show you how to do the dolphin plank exercise correctly, so we can safely do 24 days of planks without getting any injuries! Over the next few 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!
