Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: downward dog plank
Downward dog is one of the most recognisable yoga moves, and is often included in a dynamic warm-up routine. But if you want to take it up a notch, try the downward dog to plank. The extra activation of the core in your plank hold is perfect for prepping your body for exercise, while the stretch in your posterior chain will get your muscles ready to squat, deadlift or run.
