10 Planking People

You can use a plank, which is a stable body hold, before, during, and after workouts. The plank is an exercise of stabilization and not one of punishment. So, you can use a plank in any body position. You are probably use to seeing planks performed full body in a push-up type or side position like most of the ones below. However, you can have fun with your body and hold it in various positions. (See Planking Athlete)
