The Plank, or push up, position can feel exceptionally challenging. Some people feel pain in their shoulders, wrists or lower back when in this position.
However, by using the proper alignment we teach in Pilates, and by integrating your core, pelvic and scapular stability (see 11.10.12 post), you can hold the position without pain - even for several minutes.
Don't think you can do it?
