## **Elbow Plank — How To**
A strong core‑tension drill using intentional pressure from elbows to heels.

### **Setup**
– Start on your forearms with elbows under shoulders.
– Extend legs long behind you, toes tucked, body in one straight line.
– Brace your core and keep ribs down.

### **Steps**
1. Press your **elbows forward** into the floor as if you’re trying to slide them toward your heels.
2. At the same time, **drive your heels back** as if you’re trying to push the floor away.
3. Feel the tension meet in the center of your body—deep core, glutes, and lats all switch on.
4. Hold steady with level hips and slow breathing.

### **Key Cues**
– “Elbows forward, heels back.”
– “Create tension, don’t chase height.”
– “Long spine, steady ribs.”
