We hear it a lot: At some time or other, virtually every trainer, workout video, or gym will ask you to drop into plank and show what you've got. But why!? What's so great about them, anyway!? Well, I've got 5 words for you: BRA FAT AND CHICKEN ARMS. That's alright, you heard me right!
In addition the the amazing core-building properties both of these exercises have, a push-up and a plank will both help strengthen and tone your Lattisimus Dorsi, the muscle group that surrounds your scapula and side of your back in the underarm area. Sounds like a lot of mumbo-jumbo still?
Picture this: you're wearing a snug shirt or sweater, and there are no bumps on your back showing where your bra is strapped around your torso. When you reach your arm up to wave goodbye, there's no flap under your arm that waves goodbye (long after you've stopped saying farewell).
Sometimes the best way to motivate yourself through a single move in your workout is to focus on what that particular move alone can do for your body. Then you will not only power through that exercise, but work harder and harder to see the direct result it can get your body. Try it today! I challenge you to hold a low plank and post your time below!!
