Day 18 is the perfect workout for #motivationmonday!! It’s tough enough for the motivated souls & quick enough for the unmotivated [LOL!!]

There's a “Plank Drill” today so here are a few notes to make sure your form is on point each step of the flow:
Side Planks

when you open to each side, you want to create a straight line from one hand to the other so that all your joints in both your arms are stacked perfectly
keep your lats engaged [unshrug your shoulders]
keep your hips stacked - avoid letting your top hip open so far that it falls back behind your bottom hip
keep your hips lifted away from the ground - avoid letting your body “sag” so that your bottom hip moves toward the floor

Cross Under Crunches

begin with your feet 1.5-2 feet apart
when you cross one knee toward the opposite elbow, the heel of your supporting foot falls to the ground, allowing you to completely rotate your pelvis & work your obliques [take a look at the pic above if you’re not sure what I mean]
be sure to square your pelvis back up with the ground & rotate back to the ball of your foot as you return your crunching leg back to the plank position

Downward Dog

poke your butt up AND press your chest back toward your toes at the same time so you create a pyramid shape with your body
press your heels toward the ground to feel a stretch in your calves & hamstrings [back of thighs]
press your chest back so that you feel a stretch through your armpits & back [your shoulder girdle], but be sure to keep your lats engaged & avoid letting your shoulders cover up your neck
to come out of the downward dog, lower your hips AND move your shoulders back to stack over your wrists so you’re in a proper plank

That’s the plank drill for ya!! Now give them demo vid a watch so you can see it in action:

That's all, folks!! Time to get movin'!!
