Hope you didn't think we were done just yet with all of our Plank Challenge how-to video awesomeness!! Here's our newest, freshest, and hands-down our most fun video yet in the "Pitfalls of Plank" series.
Here, we cover even more of the most commonly-seen mis-alignments and compensations that occur with plank pose, some of which, if ignored, may over time cause significant injury, especially to the shoulder joints. The best, easiest, and safest way to avoid causing any future injury is to keep in mind the main adjustment themes you may have already noticed popping up time and again in our how-to video series: stack the joints, power in the legs, align the hips and shoulders, and press away from the earth to resist gravity. By keeping these helpful tips in mind as you continue practicing your plank, you will build a strong, stable, and healthy foundation - perfect for building upon as you gradually add more and more time to your plank hold. ;-)
Be sure to check it out, have a laugh (we are still giggling over the "angry face" segment), and stay up-to-date with all our newest plank challenge updates and inspirations by checking back regularly, both here at the blog, and on our main facebook page.
And don't forget to keep posting your plank photos to our facebook wall!! We have been blown away by all the fun, unique places you guys have already found to practice your plank skills! Keep them coming!
Hope everyone's challenge is coming along great so far! 52 days left to go, and counting... ;-)
Namaste!
