Get A Defined Back And Lean Core With The Spiderman Plank

The spiderman plank is an advanced version of the regular plank and will get those abs working hard!

Get into a regular plank position, balancing the upper body on the forearms and toes, the rest of the body flat like a table top.

From there, contract one leg up towards the shoulders as high as you can go and then lower it back down so it’s in alignment with the opposing leg.

Repeat 3-5 times and then switch sides. Rest for 20 seconds and repeat two times through.

Tip: Make sure you never let the hips drop or rise up as you finish the movement.
