SKILL: 4 rounds 30/10 The Hardstyle Plank (to help you learn a strong standing top position of the kb swing.)
The Hardstyle Plank is one that uses TENSION TECHNIQUES to help you learn how to engage and contract different muscles and make those muscles work together to stabilize the spine (important for everyday tasks), stay safe, build strength and promote muscle growth.
Here’s how to perform a Hardstyle Plank:
  • Start out on forearms with shoulders over your elbows and feet just inside hip-width apart.
  • Squeeze your seat (glutes) – this will automatically err you toward a posterior pelvic tilt and, while we want more of a neutral pelvis, we’d rather see a little posterior tilt (belt buckle toward sternum) than anterior tilt as it engages the core more effectively.
  • Squeeze the seat even tighter!
  • Drive your toes into the ground.
  • Now, imagine pulling your elbows toward your kneecaps. Drive everything within you to do this (but don’t actually move)…
