Front & Side Planks from the RBG Workout
Author Bryant Johnson explains how to do a perfect plank — just like Justice Ginsburg.
2 Sets/30 seconds front | 1 set/15–30 seconds each side
1. Assume a push-up-like position on a towel or mat, with your forearms resting on the floor, your elbows directly beneath your shoulders, and both legs extended.
2. Hold your body aloft for 30 seconds, keeping a straight line between your shoulder blades and the backs of your heels. Keep your core tight, and remember to breathe.
3. Turn onto your right side, with your right forearm on the floor and your elbow directly beneath your shoulder. Hold your body aloft and raise your left hand straight up toward the ceiling, rest it on your hip, or, if necessary, place it on the floor in front of you until you are strong enough to raise it.
4. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds and then switch to your other side and repeat.
5. Repeat the front plank hold for 30 seconds.
Tip
They say some Supreme Court justices lean right or lean left, but I know Justice Ginsburg remains dead center—at least during this exercise. While she is doing front planks, I gently nudge her torso off to the side with my leg (alternating the side of her body that I’m standing on), which forces her to engage her core to remain centered. You can have a friend or partner do the same.
Upping the Ante
During a recent workout, Justice Ginsburg upped the ante by doing her front plank in a full push-up position, with her hands on the floor, without even realizing she had slipped into this more difficult variation. With enough practice, you may find you want to challenge yourself with the push-up- position variation—or that you’ve started doing it without even noticing.
