I call it the 'plank-dog', but in the yoga world it is called
chataranga. If you can tolerate the weight bearing on your wrists, it is by far the most comprehensive single exercise out there!
 |
| A. Start in downward dog. (You can do this on your elbows.) |
 |
B. Move smoothly into plank. Keep all of your muscles 'active'.
|
 |
| C. Lower your body slowly, keeping elbows in and shoulders stable. |
 |
| D. Come up into cobra maintaining stability and form. |
 |
The 'plank-dog' is difficult! Try B. and C. from your knees!
|
What is your single favorite exercise? If you only had five minutes to do something fitness related, what would you do?
Janet of
The Gardner's Cottage asked us what is our perfect accessory. I must say it is my
Sergio Gutierez cuff. But I also love my Cartier timepiece and my wedding ring! If you get a chance, post your perfect accessory or, if you don't have a blog, email it to Janet, janetkorff@gmail.com.
