  1. Establish the correct starting position for a plank.  Use the dowel as necessary to help establish this position.
  2. While using intrinsic core musculature to maintain a good planking position descend to the floor by allowing the scapulae to adduct/retract.
  3. Do not lose the plank position.
  4. Ascend away from the floor by using the muscles that abduct/protract the scapulae.
  5. This movement should be slow and controlled.
