In this video Athletic Therapist Michelle Meckling demonstrates the bear plank and its progressions.
The bear plank is crucial for runners as it strengthens the core, shoulders, and hips while promoting stability and balance. This exercise engages multiple muscle groups, helping to improve overall body control during running. A strong core supports proper posture and alignment, reducing the risk of injuries and enhancing running efficiency. Incorporating bear planks into your training can lead to better performance and endurance.
