Weekly Wednesday Workout: Reverse Planks
Today we are working on the core!
httpv://youtu.be/1s1bPYBPERU
To further motivate me into really paying attention to my core, I joined a Facebook Plank challenge, my first! The challenge is incredibly easy with 20 seconds on the first day for 4 plank variations and gradually increasing. It is hosted by one of my favorite incredibly inspirational friends in my head Jill from Running With Curves. I think I can manage this one! However, after doing it the first day I realized it was my first time ever doing a reverse plank! It’s not easy either folks but its a great move to add to your ab routine!
Have you ever tried reverse planks?

I love/hate planks! This one is a good one!
Ugh! I kinda hate these. I don’t care if it’s “table” in yoga or “reverse plank” it’s just HARD!!!
I never really tried these either and for Allie to say they are hard, I know I probably need to stay far away from them! But still Happy Wednesday Nellie and thanks for sharing 🙂
It’s a great move but for some reason my shoulder’s never cooperate in this position. Darn.
Yes! Reverse planks are definitely challenging! They are another great way to work your core while your preggers (sorry I know I relate EVERY Wednesday Workout to pregnancy lately!).
Oh – I like these – such a fun way to change up the plank!!!
Looks like this would be great for the arms too! I would definitely need to do the elbow variation, though since I’m on limited wrist movement (boo!).
This seems so hard!
I meant to do a plank challenge for this month because my sister’s wedding is in October. Oops! I guess it’s not too late but I’ll be a little confused by the days not matching up.
