How to do it

  1. 1

    Weighted Front Plank is a plank variation that uses added load. Advanced athletes usually choose it. This multi-purpose movement works your abdominal muscles, spine, and hips. It also helps strengthen and firm your whole body, supports better posture and balance, lowers body fat, and may help increase your metabolism.

  2. 2

    Weighted Front Plank is a useful exercise for building stability in the core, spine, and hip regions through an isometric contraction. Add it to your training to develop and strengthen your hip, core, and leg muscles.

  3. 3

    Weighted Front Plank is a flexible exercise that recruits many of the body’s key muscle groups, so advanced athletes can use it to improve endurance and total-body strength.
