And I LOVE teaching planks for one simple reason. Sure, they are among the best exercises to train strong cores and healthy backs. And yes, they're a safe way for nearly anyone of any height, weight, or ability to develop spine stability and core awareness. Planks are also popular because they help athletes like golfers to hit farther, martial artists to strike harder, and tennis players to react faster. And planks can also be the ultimate fitness tool for full-body strength, endurance, and functionality in sports and life with the added BONUS of a six-pack, chiseled obliques and sculpted glute, chest, back and shoulder muscles. Oh, and it's nice to know that decades of research support the plank as one of the top exercises we all should be doing to prevent debilitating back injuries. But mostly, I love planks because they're fun! And in this book are 100 of my all-time favorites that I do and teach on a regular basis. Let's get planking!
