Key Points
Plank: Lift up the hips and get your body straight and in a slightly hollow position. Lock your legs straight by pulling your knee caps towards your hips (up). Squeeze your glutes and brace your core to create stability. You don’t want to be sagging your hips. Pull your elbows towards your hips to engage the full anterior aspect of your body. Be sure to breathe calmly when holding the position.
Chair Squats: Place the feet just wider than the hips with the toes slightly pointed out. Keep the knees aligned with your second toe as you send you hips back and dropdown. Keep your chest up and your spine straight. Think of screw your feet in the ground to create stability in your hips. Slight touch the chair and then come back up with control.
