If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw my post about the plank progression the guys did at practice today. I definitely recommend trying it and seeing how far you can make it through the progression. It’s a great way to build core strength, which as we all know is crucial to having a good stroke. Don’t say I didn’t warn you though … it hurts.
8 seconds middle plank – 8 seconds left side plank – 8 seconds right side plank

16 seconds middle plank – 16 seconds left side plank – 16 seconds right side plank
5 seconds rest
32 seconds middle plank – 32 seconds left side plank – 32 seconds right side plank
5 seconds rest
64 seconds middle plank – 64 seconds left side plank – 64 seconds right side plank

2:08 middle plank
5 seconds rest
4:16 middle plank

8:32 middle plank
In total that comes to about 21 minutes of planking if you manage to make it all the way to the end. A good way to gauge whether or not you’re doing the planks right is if you’re shaking and having a hard time breathing … good luck!
