How strong are your trunk muscles? 💪
I love placing a foam roller along my back to see how well my trunk, shoulders, and hips respond to stabilising exercises.
Try these 3 variations, from easiest to hardest:
1️⃣ Kneeling Plank
Build a solid foundation by maintaining a neutral spine and steady contact with the roller.
2️⃣ Single-Leg Kneeling Plank
Increase the challenge by lifting one leg, forcing your trunk and hips to work harder to resist rotation.
3️⃣ Plank Hip Extensions
The most demanding variation. Extend one hip while maintaining a stable trunk, level pelvis, and steady roller position.
The aim isn’t just to hold the position—it’s to keep the roller stable and minimise unnecessary movement. A strong trunk creates a stable base for the shoulders and hips to generate force efficiently.
How far can you get without the roller moving? 🔥
