Today you’re going to learn how to reverse plank. One of the first places you gain weight is typically around your belly. It’s also one of the hardest places to lose fat.
But going to the gym isn’t the only way to stay in shape: there are many body weight exercises you can do at home to shed the extra pounds. There is where the reverse plank comes in.
How to Reverse Plank:
1) Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you and you back straight.
2) Lean back so that your back is at a 45-degree angle with the floor.
3) Place your hands by your side, with your palms spread wide and your arms aligned with your shoulders and slightly behind your hips.
4) Supporting your weight on your hands and heels, lift your hips so that your body is straight, with your glutes and core tight. You might find it helpful to visualize your belly button being sucked in towards your spine.
5) Hold the position for 15-30 seconds as you look towards the ceiling.
6) Slowly lower yourself back to the original position.
7) Once you hit the ground, lift again. Repeat 10-15 times.
