Bring yourself to the ground in forearm plank position with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your legs extended directly behind you. You should have an unbroken line from your head to your toes. Keep your core braced and do not let your hips drop. This is the position you need to hold. Hold for the required time, keeping your core braced and a neutral spine throughout.
Holding a plank is about bracing and breathing, not gritting your teeth. That control focus runs through the sessions in our guide to the best Pilates app.
