Once that’s completed, hold for a final 30-second plank to finish this exercise.

Repeat for eight reps, and then perform the exercise on the other side.

Forearm Plank
My workout wouldn’t be complete without the grand finale: the forearm plank!

Drive your heels back, engage your legs, and activate your core.
Hold for 30 seconds, again breathing into your ribcage and out through your mouth.
Come into a child’s pose, and come back to your breath.
