Suspension Plank
Muscle Groups: Abs
Suspension Plank focuses on Abs, with Glutes working as supporting muscles.
How to Perform
Follow these step-by-step instructions to perform Suspension Plank with proper form and technique.

Start by adjusting the suspension straps to mid-calf height. Stand facing away from the anchor point and place your feet in the straps, then walk forward until your body is in a straight line from head to heels.

Support your weight on your forearms and toes. Engage your core to maintain a tight body position and avoid sagging hips or raised shoulders.

Hold the plank position, keeping your body straight and core engaged. Breathe steadily and maintain control throughout.
