Planks are one of our favorite exercises for runners. They work the core, your hamstrings, hips, shoulders and back muscles. Over the next few weeks, we'll be highlighting our favorite plank variations.
Today, we are highlighting the Knee to Elbow Plank. This one is great for hip flexibility along with all the other benefits of doing a plank.
- Begin in plank pose with your feet about hip width apart.
- Bring your left knee up to the outside of your left elbow. Repeat on the other side.
- Keep the hips low and even.
- Repeat 10x on each side
