THE PENETRATION PLANK This exercise strengthens the front of the pelvis, back of the legs, hips, and ribs, and the front of the thighs. You'll feel this exercise in the muscles of the abdomen, pelvis, and back of both legs. Start in the plank position, with your hands on the floor directly in front of you, your feet parallel to the floor, and your toes pointing straight ahead.

Keeping your abs and spine supple, bring the soles of your feet together as you gently lift one heel from the ground, keeping the second heel in contact with the ground. Stay in this position for 6 to 8 breaths. Repeat on each side.
