'This video focuses on one core exercise: how to plank properly for beginners and seniors. A strong core is important to protect your spine, enable you to do any movement easily, and maintain good posture. As a result, a strong core can help prevent falls, the number one cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. The Plank is one of the best core exercises that has the added benefit of strengthening your arms, shoulders, and back. In this video, we show you how to do the plank properly at any level, starting with a wall plank and progressing to the floor version. The more horizontal your body is to the floor, the more challenging the plank. Hold the plank as long as you can. If you can only hold for 2 seconds, no problem! This is your starting point. We recommend practicing the plank everyday. The more you do it, the longer you will be able to hold the position. If you’re just starting out, hold for 2-5 seconds then rest for 1 minute. Repeat for a total of three 2-5 second holds. This would mean you did planks for 6-15 seconds in one day! You can plank everyday by itself or add it to the end of a yes2next workout. 00:00 Introduction 01:19 Wall Plank 03:38 Sofa or Bed Plank 05:08 Floor Plank on Knees 06:02 Full Floor Plank Want more ways to build core strength?
