Dolphin Planks


Hello Friends! How’s your Wednesday treating you? Mine, started off with Zumba! I woke up this morning bright and early to get ready and low and below its raining outside!! Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal at all, but ya’ll… it hasn’t rained here in over a month. Our plants are dying, our lawns are dying… we’re dying (from the heat). It’s a very welcomed rain storm. :)

Yesterday I taught three bootcamp classes and by the time I got home my knees were screaming at me. Hello squats and lunges! It felt like I had run 10 miles… so I did what any smart runner would do…

ice, ice, baby! Or in this case… frozen fruit, fruit, baby! Hey a girl’s gotta use what she’s got. That Pink Girl told me to use a bag of peas…. um… but I already ate the peas for dinner. ;)

One of the exercise moves that we did was Dolphin Planks, ever heard of them? They go like this…

The movement is slow and controlled, with a pause at the plank position and then another pause at the “downward dog” position. We repeated this movement 20 times. We’re hardcore like that. ;)

Do you do planks? What’s your favorite type?
