Upgrading My AB Routine

To jump start this wonderful new year I have created a fantastic Plank Challenge Calendar! Plank is, and always has been, by far my favorite core exercise. I love it because I can feel the burn which gives me instant gratification towards my self esteem and weight loss goals. Feeling the burn shoots the endorphins up and really gets you in a great mood. You can be proud of yourself as you will be sore. This is a reminder of how much you kick butt!!

Below is the calendar if you would also like to upgrade your ab routine and jump start your fitness for the new year with this awesome plank challenge!
Have fun! Spread the running joy! ~Maddie J.

Known Benefits of the Plank Exercise are:

1) Convenient: You do not need a gym for this one. Just lay out the yoga mat and start planking.

2) Flexibility: This exercise targets your posterior muscles through out your body.

3) Plank also helps improve your posture because it activates your core muscles, which stabilizes your spine and hips.

4) Like i mentioned above Plank is my favorite exercise because it makes me feel good. This may be due to the fact that plank stretches muscles that are known to commonly stiffen throughout the day leading to stress.

5) And of course, plank strengthens your midsection, upper-body and lower-body muscles.
