The Plank, Revisited and Remixed

Remember the plank? That was a fascinating trend. How long could you hold that position? One minute, five minutes some people were up to ten minutes. What many don't realize is that those long holds quickly become pointless as they just increase endurance for one very specific pose. In order to take full advantage of any exercise movement must be included. Fortunately there is a way to easily add movement to this simple exercise and build incredible abdominal strength and functionality. 

The Amazing Ab Rocker

Here is a piece of fitness equipment you may have seen but never used. It came to popularity in the 1990's showing up in direct response tv ads and infomercials boasted as a revolutionary way to work the abdominal muscles. The overselling may have lead to the accidental mockery of this piece of equipment. This is unfortunate because the Ab Rocker is a great workout tool which can be a vital addition to your home gym set up.
