Nashua Nutrition’s Planksgiving Challenge

Ladies and gentleman, we have a new challenge for you! Remember the June Slim-Down Challenge? This is similar but is a bit shorter and easier to follow. We are doing a 2-week Planksgiving Challenge! As a countdown to Thanksgiving, we have a plank challenge that will engage your abs and help keep your core tight. How does it work? Every day you have to do a plank for that days suggested a time.

After this 2 week challenge, you won’t feel as guilty for over-eating at Thanksgiving dinner. Tomorrow is the first day! So print it out and let’s get planking!

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to plank:

1. Start off on a yoga mat or on a flat surface. Start in push-up position.
2. Lower both your forearms to the ground so that both your elbows and fists are flat to the ground. Your palms should be balled up, and directly underneath your shoulders.
3. Engage your abs by tilting your pelvis and pulling your belly button towards your spine.

    

   

    

4. Straighten your body but make sure to keep your neck and spine neutral.
5. Hold the Plank for the Suggested time.

If you want to get creative, try some side planks:
