The weighted front plank is a core strengthening exercise that adds resistance to the traditional plank, challenging the core muscles further. It enhances stability and endurance in the abdominal and lower back regions.

How to do it

  1. Start in a plank position on your forearms and toes, keeping your body in a straight line.
  2. Ensure your shoulders are directly over your elbows, and your core is engaged.
  3. Place a weight plate on your lower back, maintaining a stable position.
  4. Hold the position, keeping your body straight without sagging or arching your back.
  5. Maintain the hold for the desired duration, focusing on core stability.
