Bodyweight Exercise: Decline Plank

To make the plank even harder, you can do the decline variation. With your feet elevated, your upper body has to bear more weight.

Step 1: Get down on the floor like you are doing a regular plank. Your forearms are on the floor as usual, but this time your toes should be placed on a bench behind you (about 12-18″ tall.)

Tighten your abs and keep your body straight. Now hold this position.
