🔥 PLANK CHALLENGE DAY 4: Back to Work! (25 Seconds x 3 Sets) 🔥

Alright, Ageless Runners! I hope you enjoyed your rest day yesterday (Day 3). Now it's time to build on that foundation.

Today, we step up the intensity with a slight increase in hold time.

• Hold Time: 25 seconds

• Sets: 3 sets

• Rest: Rest for 60 seconds between each set.

Focus for Today: The Running Connection

As we increase the time, remember why we're doing this. A strong core is not just for looking good—it's the foundation of an injury-free running stride.

The plank teaches your body to resist rotation and maintain a stable pelvis, which is essential for:

1. Transferring Power: Getting more push-off power from your legs.

2. Preventing Swing: Stopping your hips from dropping or swaying when you're fatigued late in a run.

3. Avoiding Pain: Reducing strain on your lower back and knees.

💡 Quick Form Check:

Before you start your first set, remind yourself to:

• Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

• Squeeze your glutes (butt muscles).

• Imagine pulling your belly button up towards your spine.

• Keep your elbows directly under your shoulders.

Drop a "DONE" and let us know how those 3 sets of 25 seconds felt! Keep showing up, you're building a more resilient body! 👇
