Dynamic Plank Variations - Part 1

• Dynamic Plank Variation Series Part 1/3 • _ Ever get bored of just mindlessly holding planks until the cows come home and until your body shakes? While static planks can help build core strength and endurance, dynamic planks (in which there are one or more moving body parts) address a need that is very central to the role of core stability. _ The kettlebell drag-through is one such exercise in which a kettlebell is continually pulled out from one side to the other while the trunk refrains from excessively rotating or breaking form. The result is a dynamic stability demand which shifts between opposing muscle groups on both sides of your body. Non "core" muscles of the upper and lower extremities also work together in various combinations to provide stability, such as your hip flexors on one leg which may dig into the ground harder for support. _ Give this a try and stay tuned this week for Parts 2 and 3 of this series on more different ways to functionally challenge and blast your core!
