Overview
The straight plank pike is an exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis or six-pack muscles. To perform this exercise, start in a straight plank position with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands shoulder-width apart. Then, slowly pike your hips up so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Hold this position for as long as you can, then slowly lower back down to the starting position. The straight plank pike is a challenging exercise, but it is a great way to strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve your core strength.
