2. Place Feet Apart and Activate Heels

In plank, the feet should be placed in line with the hips or slightly closer together for an increased challenge. To further engage the legs and glutes, push back through your heels to stretch the back of your legs. Engage your abdominal muscles as well as your quadriceps—or thighs—and squeeze your glutes to activate the lower body.
