Position your elbows directly under your shoulders and your wrists in front of you in line with your elbows.
Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles (off the floor). Make sure your hips, head, and shoulders don’t drop. But feel free to drop to your knees if necessary. Progress to a full plank when you feel the necessary strength.
Engage your core by pulling your belly into your spine - like you're expecting a punch in the gut. Squeeze your glutes and thighs and don't forget to breathe!
