As we plank, often times the little ab shake starts to set in, and we get tired, then we start to sacrifice the form of our plank. Our mid back starts to sink it, or we life up our lower back and buttocks, making more of a triangle shape. This, makes the plank easier, but is NOT proper form.
Bad form will compromise your fitness benefits, but can hurt your back, as well as your shoulders.
Remember, keeping the proper form while practicing your plank will benefit you all around.
Things to keep in mind:
~~~ If you can feel your core being engaged, than your abs are at a good working point. Be sure that your back, top of your head, and your buttocks, they should all form a straight line. If someone were to place a stick, each of those points of your body listed above, should be touching the stick. ~~~
