Before attempting a plant, it is worth visiting the hands, feet, ankles and shoulders as well as spine and core sections!

And practise going on all fours, a lot!

Once you have perfected the Rhomboid push-up and can stabilise your shoulder girdle without tension, you can start moving your knees further and further back, until you can rest on your forefoot.

​Tension in fingers => go to section on hands 

Hyperextension at the elbow => make your arm straight by introducing a microbend, just to bring your arm back into alignment

Ability to stabilise the shoulder girdle => practise relaxing the spine on all fours and the rhomboid push-up and go to section on neck and shoulders

Also visit the section on a relaxed spine, which is essential before attempting a plank, and finally the section on core.
