What is a Spiderman plank?

Spiderman Planks are a variation of the traditional plank. For traditional planks, once in the proper plank position, you simply hold the position for the desired amount of time. For Spiderman planks, once in the proper plank position, you bring your knees up toward your elbows one at a time.

Planks have been proven to be one of the most effective exercises to target abdominal muscles. Planks help condition and train your core, which strengthens your abs. So be sure to include both of these kinds of planks in your workout.

CAUTION: If you’re a beginner, or not in optimal shape for exercise, start slowly! Consult a physician before starting a new exercise regimen.
