Planks+ Knees = Oblique Work!

My trainer, Jojo, is the best!  He is always figuring out different exercises that require TONS of muscles so you really get the most bank for your buck, per movement.  In the video below, Jojo gives the average plank, a major make over! First, I have weight attached to my ankles which adds brings new challenge, but also helps access bringing the knee closer to the upper arm/elbow.  If you are someone who can't quite bring your knee to your upper arm/elbow area this exercise actually assists that movement.  This is because the weight on the ankle wants to get...
