Turtle planks emphasize the core in a static position. This exercise helps to maintain a solid, upright posture and produce well-developed muscles in our abdominals and low back to help protect the spine.
HOW-TO:
1. Lay on your back with your hands overhead, with the back of your palms against the floor.
2. Make sure your knees and hips are fully extended, your elbows are fully extended, and your heels are against the floor.
3. Lift your heels and arms off the floor and hold the position by contracting your abdominals.
