forearm plank

Prone elbow support

A forearm plank is a core-strengthening exercise where you hold your body in a straight line while resting on your forearms and toes, elbows directly beneath your shoulders.

Unlike a standard plank performed on the hands, the forearm version reduces wrist strain and increases core engagement: Hold a forearm plank for thirty seconds.
