HIGH THRESHOLD<br />
SINGLE-ARM PLANK<br />
While the plank is not underrated, it is still<br />
a great exercise for building your baseline<br />
core stability. According to Richter, if you<br />
cannot maintain a neutral spine when performing<br />
planks, you will end up compromising<br />
your positioning when<br />
working with barbells. Mark Denchak,<br />
PES, ATC, MS and Illinois’ Northwestern<br />
Medicine Training & Sports Performance<br />
Clinic’s athletic trainer suggests<br />
that once you have mastered<br />
the more elementary forearm plank,<br />
then try the more demanding single-arm<br />
plank.<br />
Start with the modified knee pushup<br />
position with your body straight,<br />
core tight, and arms extended under<br />
your shoulders. Lift your right hand<br />
off the ground and touch the opposite<br />
shoulder then lift both your<br />
knees from the ground to get into the<br />
single-arm plank position. Hold this position<br />
for 3-5 seconds before lowering your<br />
knees back to the ground followed by your<br />
hands. Repeat this process on the other<br />
side and continue interchanging until you<br />
have completed 2-3 sets of 5 reps per side.<br />
Even with its numerous benefits, metabolism<br />
often gets the blame with weight gain. This article<br />
lists down top metabolism myths and explains<br />
