Full Plank

This exercise is the Full Plank and its primary aim is to strengthen the abdominal muscles on the front of your torso.

Start by lying on the floor on your belly. Prop yourself up onto your forearms and also your toes. There should be a straight line between your feet, knees, hips and shoulders.

Hold this position for the duration suggested in your rehab programme. If you find this exercise too easy you may find the Full Side Plank more challenging. Or if you find this exercise too difficult, you could try instead the Kneeling Plank exercise- there are videos of both these exercises in our channel.
