The plank may be a brilliant core exercise, but for many it can be tricky to master. And, in all honesty, it can get a bit boring just balancing there aimlessly waiting for your timer to hit ‘zero’. This five-move workout, however, promises to build up those deep core muscles, as well as work your abdominals, and there isn't a plank in sight — all you need is a long resistance band.
You may have used resistance bands for your strength training exercises during full-body workouts, but did you know they're excellent for developing core strength too? By incorporating them into your workout you're adding extra resistance, which your core has to work harder to overcome which, in turn, strengthens it. If you find bodyweight exercises too easy, or struggle to engage your deep core muscles in general, then throwing a band into the mix could be hugely beneficial.
