Does the front plank cause lower back pain for you? Did your Physical Therapist or Doctor tell you to start doing front planks to help or prevent lower back pain?
The front plank is one of my go-to exercises for any level of fitness enthusiast especially those with lower back pain. Unfortunately, it is one of the most butchered exercises in gyms and clinics all over the world.
Most people do them wrong and there are some good reasons why that is. I am going to give you my personal coaching cues that I use to teach the front plank to beginners and advanced gymgoers as well as lower back pain students.
If you follow these cues to the T you will notice how much more control over your body you have during the front plank as well as less pain.
Your Coach,
William
