Plank (Added Weight)

Also known as: Plank (Added Weight).

Plank with plate on back.

How to perform this exercise

1. Have a light plate placed securely on the mid-back or use a weighted vest, then take a forearm plank; avoid pressure on the lower back.
2. Keep the pelvis aligned with the torso, breathe steadily and avoid sagging or hiking the hips.
3. Stop timing when alignment can no longer be maintained and lower the knees gently.
