Say hello to the Bear Stance Plank March with a Block — one of our absolute favorite core moves right now ✨
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:
✅ Deep core activation (hello, TVA!)
✅ Shoulder & hip stability under load
✅ Coordination + focus in one move
✅ More approachable than a full high plank — but don't be fooled
How to do it:
1️⃣ Start in bear stance — hands under shoulders, knees under hips, hovering 1–2 inches off the floor
2️⃣ Place your block just outside one hand
3️⃣ Slowly reach across and tap the block with the opposite hand
4️⃣ Return and alternate — keep those hips STILL
5️⃣ 3 sets of 8–10 reps each side
The block gives you something to aim for, which keeps your brain as engaged as your body 🧠
Save this for your next session ✨
