Here is my 5 minute Plank workout that gives me great results when I’m short on time. You can do it anywhere you like and all you need is you and a timer. I like to do it on a yoga mat and use my stopwatch on my mobile phone.
I have found planks to be really great for my core and my all over body strength!
In this 5 minute workout* I use my whole body and please note that you can also do this on your knees if it feels more comfortable until you build up your strength. Remember to keep your spine in line, shoulders down and your core tight.
And for the ULTIMATE SAFE, EFFECTIVE & TRUSTED Post Pregnancy Workout – see our EXPERT Post Pregnancy Exercise DVD below – you can purchase and see more information on it here.
