8. Push-Ups
Push-ups add in a dynamic muscular requirement to a plank setup. You can keep your wrists underneath your shoulders for a narrow push-up or take them outside your mat (along your chest line) for the old standard. In fact, there are several push-up variations if you get bored.
Begin in a plank position, shoulders over your wrists, fingers spread wide, legs planted behind you at about hip-width. Pull in your belly button and keep your back straight as you bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor. Lower until your forearms are level with your ribcage, then press back up for one rep. These can be done on your knees or tabletop until you build enough strength to stay on your toes. Complete three sets of 10-12 reps.Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography
