Elevated Plank

BeginnerBodyweight

Elevating your hands on a bench makes this plank more accessible while still demanding full core engagement to hold a rigid line. It's a good entry point for building the trunk stability you need before harder plank variations. Keep everything from shoulders to ankles in one line.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand facing a sturdy bench or raised surface.

  2. 2

    Place both hands on the edge about shoulder-width apart with arms straight.

  3. 3

    Walk your feet back until your shoulders, hips, and ankles form one straight line.

  4. 4

    Brace your abs and glutes to lock the position.

  5. 5

    Avoid letting your hips drop or pike as you hold for the set duration.
