Say hello to the Bear Stance Plank March with a Block โ one of our absolute favorite core moves right now โจ
What's bear stance?
Knees hover just off the floor, hips low, back flat. It's like a plank's grounded little sibling and it hits your core in a completely different way
Add a block and here's what you get:
โ
Deep core activation (hello, TVA!)
โ
Shoulder & hip stability under load
โ
Coordination + focus in one move
โ
More approachable than a full high plank โ but don't be fooled
How to do it:
1๏ธโฃ Start in bear stance โ hands under shoulders, knees under hips, hovering 1โ2 inches off the floor
2๏ธโฃ Place your block just outside one hand
3๏ธโฃ Slowly reach across and tap the block with the opposite hand
4๏ธโฃ Return and alternate โ keep those hips STILL
5๏ธโฃ 3 sets of 8โ10 reps each side
The block gives you something to aim for, which keeps your brain as engaged as your body ๐ง
Save this for your next session โจ
