You need to post fewer pictures of yourself, and more of Addie Byrne.

Thanks.

Yes! A lot of the stabilizing exercises I did included planks and balance drills, some of which were fairly radical (i.e. ridiculously challenging). The main stabilizing exercise I did this past year was planks, but I also did some drills that included hand-stand push-ups (assisted by the wall), being dragged backwards in a lunge position with my forward foot on a movable carpet, pivoting down a balance beam with a medicine ball held between my feet, and walking with my feet along the wall while in a plank position

More commonly, I would do a 5min plank hold between three and four times (some people do up to six!), but this wasn’t just the simple position where a person is propped up on their elbows. Instead, we would rotate within the 5min to work the side and back muscles. So, here are a few examples of how to vary the “normal” plank (anyone have some more ideas?):

1. Lift up left arm, then right arm, then left leg… holding each limb up for five seconds.
2. Hold left foot and right arm up simultaneously for five seconds, then switch sides.
3. Bring right knee into right armpit then extend back out to normal position; repeat 5-10times then switch sides.
4. Using the feet, move forward and backward while leaving arms planted.
5. In a side plank (balanced on one elbow), move top leg up and down slowly five times.
6. Also in a side plank, move hip up and down.
7. Propped on the elbows belly up (back exercise) repeat #1 and 2.

Hope this helps Erik!!

Thanks for the insight into your training in Norway.
