The RKC plank is a variation of the traditional plank that intensifies core engagement by drawing the elbows and toes toward each other. This increases abdominal tension, making it an effective exercise for core strengthening and stability.

How to do it

  1. Begin in a forearm plank position with elbows directly under shoulders.
  2. Engage your core and squeeze your glutes.
  3. Draw elbows and toes toward each other without moving them.
  4. Hold this position, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.
  5. Continue to breathe steadily while maintaining tension.
