Here are two foam roller planks you can do to strengthen your core. That’s the purpose of our exercise blog…to introduce new and fun exercises that you can do at home with little or no equipment because we know you can’t always get to the gym! Exercise #1: Elbow Plank on foam roller
Start kneeling on the floor with your foam roller in front of you. Place your elbows onto the foam roller and step your feet back so that you are in a plank position. Focus on keeping your abdominal muscles braced, your spine in neutral and your shoulder blades pulled down and together. Hold this position for 10 seconds; rest & repeat up to 10 times. Make it more challenging: Lift one foot of the floor as shown Exercise #2: Upward facing Plank on foam roller Start sitting on the floor with your foam roller behind you. Lean back on it so that it is across your shoulder blades. Cradle your head in your hands so that you don’t strain your neck muscles. Straighten your legs and then lift your butt off the floor so that you are in a straight line from your heels to your head. Hold this position for 10 seconds; rest & repeat 5-10 times.
