How to Do
How to Do Reverse Plank Hold
The reverse plank hold should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the reverse plank hold.
