In this instructional video, the speaker explains how to perform the plank correctly to maximize abdominal activation and achieve a flat stomach. He outlines a step‑by‑step sequence: place the forearms so the weight is evenly distributed, support only the tips of the feet and fully extend the knees to increase intensity, keep the hips at a height that maintains a straight spine while rotating the hips slightly (the “bear butt” cue) to engage the core, and finally retract the scapulae to prevent the chest from taking over the work. When all these elements are combined, the plank is performed perfectly.
