I had no idea shaking was kind of a good thing when planking..I thought it simply meant I was THAT weak/out of shape. 😅 Thanks!

[@runaway_36]

Nope shaking is awesome 😊

[@laszlolilien1316]

Same that’s what I thought

[@creek3205]

I felt the same. Shaking means it's working 😁

[@AngloSaxonVanguard]

I thought the same too! My abdominal area was shaking after ten seconds and thought I must be really out of shape😂

[@molikael3654]

Same here. I start to shake after 20 sec 😂

[@SubscribersWithoutAnyVid-rj1fw]

Doctor: You have one minute to live * Me starts Planking* Doctor: What are you doing? Me: Making this minute feel like a lifetime...

[@pz4934]

lmfao

[@barbaraseymour3437]

Great.

[@ovieawumamadike651]

Thank you lol

[@dabeezkneez8716]

🤣🤣🤣👍🏾

[@johannaortiz2404]

[@olive_oyl]

I have never been told or realized that you’re supposed to push back your heels while planking. Not one trainer has told me this! Very helpful thank you!

[@mjrussell414]

The regular plank is hard enough for me right now, but I won’t try holding it for a minute anymore. 30 seconds with proper form does get the shaking going.

[@KennyLiang]

Big thanks for the tip on the heels. Truly felt my core engaged and I could keep my heels together, instead of shoulder length apart. Plus shoulders/elbows were less fatigued

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

YAY! So glad it helps! Often it's those little tweaks that help us better engage muscles and become more efficient with the movements!

[@erics.859]

I was having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong with my planks. This really helped. Thanks so much.

[@lorenaballou4513]

Omg! No wonder my lower back has been so tender since I started doing planks regularly 😆 Thanks for your thorough explanation! It really helps us newbies.

[@racheldye1298]

Thank you Cori! Great info as usual, I learn new things all the time from you! I did not know about the elbow positioning or heels back, and I’ve been practicing planking a lot so I’m very excited to implement this!💪🏼🙌🏼

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Little tweaks can make the difference! And even having options to adjust moves based on our needs. Let me know how it feels doing those adjustments!

[@BetsyMarkman]

Thank you for this! I'm brand new to planks, and this video really gave me confidence to get started.

[@cherylyoungblood1230]

I watched this video over a week ago and wanted to apply the techniques I learned from it. I was able to with my coach, tonight during my warm up for boxing lessons. The cupping the hands and elbows out to help support the shoulders, tremendously helped my form. Thank you for sharing this tip. I feel a lot more confident during a plank.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Aw yay! This legit makes me so happy to hear! So glad you used the tips and felt that difference!!

[@paulmartin7635]

Really useful - especially the tips about pushing back through the heels and if it's shaking, it's working!

[@deepthipeiris]

Love this channel! Thank you for all your advice !

[@Judy98814]

This was a great video, I have always had a hard time doing a plank. I really got a lot out of it, thank you. Been watching quite a few of your videos recently.

[@tovekane]

Thank you so much. We've started a Menopause Plank Challenge (because as bones deteriorate, we really wanted to develop a stronger core). This is such a useful video in that it sets great foundations that I know I may have rushed passed. Thank you for the clarity. Whooo hoo. Abs here we come!

[@sarabee4220]

So extremely helpful! Thanks for helping me to wake up my core and get the slouch out of my shoulders! Thank you!!!

[@enanthem]

This video was so helpful I only wish I had found it sooner! You're completely right about focusing on planking longer. I've been trying to extend my planking time but I could barely get past 30 seconds. I just tried it again, following these tips and I got to 50 seconds! My max time had been 1m 30s but doing it this way felt so much better than watching the time until it hit a certain number and then trying to push past that lol. This is great improvement! Thank you so much for this video! =D

[@AM-pc3yd]

you're the best and your short videos really help, keep it up.

[@e-zfitness4380]

Thanks for putting this together.

[@yosoyroman875]

Thank you for the modification. About 6 days ago I had rotator cuff surgery and cant use my right arm… I will attempt the incline version using my left arm only.

I appreciate your detailed form description. I have severe scoliosis and osteoporosis, I continue to struggle with knowing proper technique for planking. Do you have any other tips for planking with a right thoracic left lumbar scoliosis? I just discovered you and found this planking video quite useful. Thanks Diana

There are not a lot of women in whom I find value on fitness related channels. For that matter, there are not a lot of men in whom I find value on fitness related channels!Yours is an extremely significant exception to that. Thanks for your straightforward and scientific approach. It’s much appreciated!

[@NoahPatterson1]

Would love to see one of these videos for fixing bad “desk posture”. Thanks for the videos!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Great idea! :-)

[@lanaeatkinson4298]

Hi Cori! Have you done a video for releasing/stretching the hip flexors..more specifically the psoas???? LOVE your videos!

[@jkz628]

What isEz plank

[@howellomaha]

Yoga mats help. I often have to fold mine in half and put my elbows on it and it is such a huge relief. My elbows don't feel like they are eating into the floor anymore.

[@ilovehyunjin506]

i get bruises near the elbow and knees when i do planks on the floor

[@tishelletobias5643]

This is soooo awesome! Love the details you shared and your delivery. Officially subscribed! What are your thoughts on the kettlebell up-right row?

[@kobeldokes]

Thank you!!

[@dave2059]

Beautifully clear detailed explanation. You are the first person I have heard say to drive back through your heels. I have been wondering what is the proper position for your feet. Now I know. And it was great to hear hold harder not longer. Of course we have a tendency to think longer is better because we can see it. And I was concerned when I was shaking too, if that was a bad thing. Now I know it's a good thing.
