Of all the best plank variations I’ve tried over the years, the gymnastics plank is top dollar for building core stability, endurance, and strength. It doesn’t just strengthen your core; it hits muscles all over the body, including your shoulders, arms, wrists, quads, and glutes.
I love exercising with weights, and I’ve been teaching weightlifting for years, but it’s a common misconception that you can’t achieve an effective workout without lifting heavy. Don’t get me wrong, I love picking up a heavy weight, but for my core? Bodyweight blasts can still be top-tier.
