/Simple at home Fitness Tests continued……
Last week we tested you on your aerobic strength. This week is all about your core strength. This test involves holding the plank position.
Core fitness – Plank
Hold the position. (Please see photo). Try to imagine a nice straight line parallel with the floor, from your head to your toes. If at any time you feel the exercise in your lower back then stop the test immediately. Please note your posture and / or lower back will go before you physically have to stop the hold. Do not push through this point.
