Follow these 8 essential tips to have good form during a plank:
Your hands are placed comfortably on the ground, either with your palms on the ground or fists clasped together.
Your feet are hip-width apart. You should be balancing on the balls of your feet.
Your spine is totally straight.
Your tailbone should be tucked so that it's aligned with your spine, not sticking into the air.
Your glutes — butt muscles — are squeezed tight.
Your belly button is drawn in toward your spine.
Your lats — back muscles — should be flexed and pulling away from the floor.
Your body is in one straight line. "Make sure your lower back isn't sagging and your booty isn't popping up,"
