As the handles get closer to your body, the leverage changes, making it more difficult to keep the position. Front planks aren’t anything new. 2012 Aug;21(3):296-300. doi: 10.1123/jsr.21.3.296. Bojana Galic Walking and running involve both forward propulsion and shifting our center of gravity from side to side as we transition weight from one foot to the other. Lateral weight-shifting, side-bending, and thoracic abduction – pushing your shoulders to one side without bending the spine laterally – are the hallmark movements of the frontal plane. Standing hip abduction exercise at 30 degrees in the transverse plane was observed to produce the highest EMG ofswing limb (64.68% MVIC) than other angles. Keep your arms straight and your feet shoulder-width apart. NLM Transverse plane exercises build rotational competency for throwing, punching, reaching, swinging, and pulling with one arm. McCarney L, Andrews A, Henry P, Fazalbhoy A, Selva Raj I, Lythgo N, Kendall JC. Walk your arms out until your elbows are 1-2 inches in front of your shoulders to create a long-levered plank. Objective: The landmine is a great tool for loading rotational movements in a way that medicine balls or bodyweight exercises can’t. J Sport Rehabil. The Steel Mace is a great tool for training in the transverse plane of motion. HHS Flexion and extension -- think biceps curls or triceps kickbacks -- happen in the saggital plane, which bisects your … Get-ups are a great way to integrate shoulder, rib, and hip mechanics in a single move, but you don’t always need to do the full exercise. Kiersten Hickman November 12, 2020, 6:23 pm, by Think of this as a leg raise for your upper body, only you use your arms as the levers instead of your legs. Repeated-measure ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Most of our lives are spent either moving back and forth, up and down, in a straight line, or balancing forces that occur during these movements. Chan MK, Chow KW, Lai AY, Mak NK, Sze JC, Tsang SM. 2017 Jul 21;18(1):313. doi: 10.1186/s12891-017-1674-2. Epub 2011 Dec 30. Effects of real-time visual biofeedback of pelvic movement on electromyographic activity of hip muscles and lateral pelvic tilt during unilateral weight-bearing and side-lying hip abduction exercises. That’s exactly what this exercise emulates. Lateral weight-shifting, side-bending, and thoracic abduction – pushing your shoulders to one side without bending the spine laterally – are the hallmark movements of the frontal plane. Results: Here, we take a traditional cable chop and concentrate the load in the frontal plane by adding a lateral weight shift, stacking the shoulders and hips over one foot. Elevate your feet on a bench or step block. If you want to have it all, you need to move beyond high-rep, one-dimensional abdominal exercises. 2020 Oct 19;28(1):53. doi: 10.1186/s12998-020-00344-3. Repeat for 4-5 breaths, moving your arms steadily back until you can’t keep your back down any longer. Adding the angled hip bridge from the elbow-supported position allows you to keep the focus on your abs while pulling the nearside glutes into the equation for extension and external rotation.

The trouble is, in the real world of performance and athletics, you need a stable spine and rib cage because other muscles and joints are producing contrary and opposing forces. Imagine you’re pulling your back pants pockets to the back of your knee.
