How to perform?
The running plank is an isolation exercise that primarily works the abs, but also involves the obliques and lower back muscles. The hip flexors are also engaged as stabilizing muscles. This exercise requires you to hold a plank position while alternately raising each foot, simulating the motion of running. This move challenges the stability of the core and works to strengthen the muscles in the abs, obliques, and lower back.
