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.
- 1
Adjust the suspension trainer so the foot cradles hang about 6-12 inches off the floor.
- 2
Lie on your stomach facing away from the anchor point, and place the tops of your feet into the foot cradles.
- 3
Position your forearms on the floor, with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your hands clasped or flat.
- 4
Engage your core and glutes, then lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.
- 5
Maintain a neutral spine, keeping your core tight and avoiding any sagging in your hips or arching in your lower back.
- 6
Hold this plank position for the desired duration, breathing steadily, then lower your hips back to the floor with control.
Secondary Muscles
While Suspension Plank primarily targets Abs , this exercise also activates several secondary muscle groups during the movement. These supporting muscles include Glutes . Engaging these secondary muscles helps stabilize your body throughout the exercise, improves overall coordination, and contributes to balanced muscle development.
