FFFC #Challenge #17: Planking

For rock hard abs it is important to uncover the fat to reveal those abs.  Once you uncover the fat, this challenge will help ensure, there are strong abs underneath to put on display.  Besides being a showpiece, having a strong core is extremely beneficial.

Here are some primary benefits:

• Provides stability during exercising.
• Supports your back
• Assists with good posture

So what are you waiting for?  Embrace this challenge and get stronger abs NOW!
