Working from a plank, which is pretty fundamental isometric drill, this body position will develop the strength of your body entirely. This will develop the core strength, it will improve your lower back and also will help you to develop the power of your shoulders and arms.

If you are asking yourself the question of how to make a proper plank, this is easy. Just put your body in a position as if you are getting ready to do a push-up. Proceed to bend your elbows to a 90 degrees position and leave your bodyweight on both forearms. The position of the shoulder should be in line and above the elbows while your back should be on a perfect straight line from head to toes (check the image below).

These routine should be repeated at least 3 times in order to start getting results. If you combine this session with the previous ones (check the links above), you should be able to work your hold body without the need of going to a gym.
