Planking (Google : core exercise for older dudes who hate core exercises)
Only 7 weeks ago I googled that. I've never been a fan of core exercises. I only now realize it's because I've never truly hit my core. I started reading up and learning about the amazing benefits of doing planks. I mean even 2 thirty second planks 4 days a week can be body and core transformative! Not to mention release or sometimes even remove pains and back and core and neck issues.
I can't lie this was and still is a humbling movement if you have not done ever or in a long time. At first I could not even hold a 45 second true flat plank! Shaking, sweating, muscles and core popping. WTF!? In less than one minute!
But I've worked my way up and now do two 1 minute planks and then 2 30 second planks 5 days a week. My core and abs are tightening like never before, little back pains I've had that I thought were simply age, wear and tear are GONE! I'm even back into an older pair of legit Levis. For big dudes slipping into legit Levis and looking and feeling good in them can be an exhilarating experience LOL! My girl likes my new exercises too she started doing them WITH me after seeing my results. So bonus for me my hot younger gal is laying there in her tight yoga pants and cut off t shirt just TRYING to make me lose focus most days I do it now too. Thank God it's only a couple minutes ha!
Anyway fellas, old and young, give planking a try it isn't just for hipsters and it really is an easy add in to daily routines!
