Day 96 – T-Plank with Weight

T-Plank with Weight

T-Plank with Weight

In the T-plank with weight, we add the use of a dumbbell to the regular T-Plank.

HOW TO…

  1. Get into a High Plank position, and make sure your hands are right under your shoulders. Position the dumbbell in between your hands.
  2. Rotate your torso, starting with your hips, moving off the toes onto the side of your feet.
  3. Pick up the dumbbell in one hand and bring the arm up and open up your chest.
  4. Stack your feet on top of each other.
  5. Stabilize your position: (a) keep your hips high, (b) keep your arms straight, and (c) look up.
  6. Hold for 3 seconds.
  7. Move back into the High Plank position, and place the dumbbell back on the floor.
  8. Next, repeat to the other side.

Variation: The picture shows the placement of the feet apart rather than stacked. This is a variation to make the exercise a little easier in case you are struggling with the balance.

Goal: Aim to perform the T-plank with weight at least 10x without resting before switching to the other side.

Challenge: Perform the T-Plank on each side for 10 repetitions, but increase the duration of holding the extended position for 5 seconds rather than 3 seconds.
