Pregnancy Planks: The Debate
I hear this a lot in the Prenatal Fitness Industry: DO NOT PLANK. For me, personally, this just adds to the list of things everyone says to you to give you pregnancy anxiety. Pregnancy is not a ONE SIZE FITS ALL. We are all different. I believe if you are properly connecting your core, breath and pelvic floor, there is no coning in the abdomen and it feels good, plank it out mama. 💪🏼 #29weeks

Planking is fine for some during pregnancy.
Planking is great for some during pregnancy.
Planking is not ideal for some during pregnancy.

Everyone’s body is different. Everyone’s needs, strengths and weaknesses are different, too.
