Are you actually doing your plank right?

Let’s fix the most common form fails I see ALL the time

Form Check: HIGH PLANK EDITION

⚡️Want to feel it in your core—not your neck or shoulders? Start here:

✅ WRIST CHECK

Wrists stacked right under your shoulders, fingers spread like starfish

❌ Hands too far forward = shoulder strain city

✅ HIP POSITION

Flat back, abs ON—pretend you’re a coffee table

❌ Booty too high or hips sagging = zero core work

✅ HEAD + NECK

Gaze down, neck in line with spine

❌ Looking up = neck cramp

❌ Looking at your toes = turtle mode

Master these 3 cues = core on fire without pain in weird places

You in? Drop a “PLANKED” below if you’re locking in that form!

How I ACTUALLY Toned My Core & Flattened My Waist✨
That stubborn lower belly isn’t always fat… most ab workouts completely miss the muscle that actually changes it. When your TVA is weak, your organs droop (even if you're lean), which gives that bloated look in your tummy ✅ The fix is training your deep core and strengthening your TVA
