The exercise as you may have guessed is called the plank and it is excellent for working those upper and lower abs. But it also helps with developing the core muscle groups including back muscles. As with all ab exercises you should stop exercising if you have any pain or aggravated tightness in your lower back. This is your body's way of avoiding weak or tired abs by trying to call into play other muscles. So when this happens you will want to cease the Plank and spend time building up your abs with lower intensity exercises and work up your core strength until you can handle this beast.

You will begin where almost every good abs exercise begins - on the floor. Lie face down with your elbows on the ground and your shoulder joint directly above your elbows. Place your feed in the same position that you use for performing pushups. This is the starting position for the plank. From here you will lift your mid section off of the ground focusing on your abdominals until your body resembles a plank - hence the name.

You will need to focus on keeping your body as flat as possible from shoulders to feet, and you will hold this position as long as you can perform the exercise with good form. A good routine is to perform this exercise to failure ( the point to where you cannot hold your form any longer). You will do this any where up to three times (three sets).

Once you have progressed to the point of being able to stay in the plank for over 2 minutes you can bump up the burn by raising one foot off of the ground by an inch or so. This will increase the load on that leg and add a bit of stabilizer muscles into the motion.
