Against-Wall Front Plank

Accurate?

Strengthen your core with the Against-Wall Front Plank! This modified plank helps build stability with reduced strain.

Instructions

1. Find a clear wall space where you can comfortably place your feet without slipping.

2. Start by standing facing away from the wall, approximately an arm's length away.

3. Lean forward and place your palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.

4. Walk your feet up the wall until your body is parallel to the ground, keeping your arms extended directly below your shoulders.

5. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels, like the plank position on the floor.

6. Engage your core muscles, squeeze your glutes, and hold your body rigid. Make sure to breathe normally throughout the exercise.

7. Keep your neck in a neutral position by looking down at the floor.

8. Hold the plank position for a set duration of time, such as 20-60 seconds, depending on your fitness level.

9. To dismount, carefully walk your feet down the wall and return to the standing position.

Always perform exercises within your own limits and consult a professional fitness instructor or a physical therapist for personalized guidance, especially if you are new to exercise or have any pre-existing health conditions.
