Plank

Functional motions of all kinds should always be performed while recruiting the muscles of the core including the abdominals, erector spinae and lower gluteal fibres. Plank exercises are an excellent way to work all core muscles simultaneously while strengthening the shoulder girdle. Biomechanics & muscular recruitment of abdominals muscles while simultaneously engaging the gluteal muscles while executing the plank takes this exercise one step deeper into core conditioning. Balanced connection of all the muscles surrounding the centre of gravity combined with ideal joint alignment are key features of the GSRP functional post-rehab workout. The core muscles connect to lengthen the spine and stabilize the rib cage on the pelvis, and so, the risk of workout-related injuries decrease considerably, and the benefits of performing these exercises are maximized.
