Yes, we all have a little bit of Bond Girl in us; she just might need a little help getting out. Halle Berry is convinced that the Plank Pull is a great place to start. Why not just a regular plank?

Well, planks are excellent for strengthening the core, but after awhile how long do you really want to be stuck holding that position? Therefore, to get more bang out of your buck all you have to do is tack on an additional element. The movement involved with Plank Pulls forces your body to stabilize itself. This slight variation will make the move more challenging allowing you to work your stomach muscles even more fully. Score!

Now that we know why to perform one of Berry’s signature fitness moves; still begs the question, how can we attain and keep a physique like an Oscar winning actress. During one of her new Fit Friday tips Halle kindly gave her fans some exercise advice. She says,

“It’s fitness Friday! You asked how to get started? It’s simple, you just decide to start!

You decide today that you are worth it! Trust me, I know it’s hard to focus and dedicate time to working out each day, but with 24 hours in the day you can surely take one and dedicate it to you! You don’t need a fancy gym to get started. All you need is a living room, the patio, kitchen floor, a driveway or a backyard, and a bottle water.

Plank Pull - Halle Berry Shows and Tells How to Get Her Abs

This simple exercise is called a plank pull. This starts to strengthen your core, and a strong core has been key to my workouts.

Each week I’m going to pick a question that you asked and Peter, my trainer, and I will do our best to answer. First, we were asked: If you have weight to lose, is it better to lose weight before you start working out? Peter says it’s best to do them simultaneously.

You can start by walking each day or doing jumping jacks for cardio, while using very light weight. Or again holding water bottles in each hand if you don’t have weights. And you can also start the plank pulls.”

Plank Pull – Halle Berry’s Trainer Demonstrates

Alright, so we got the motivation and we know all the benefits. Now it is time to implement! Halle Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, breakdowns how to do the Plank Pull with excellent form!

What You Will Need

  • Full Water Bottle or Light Weight
  • Your Own Body Weight

Step 1– Position yourself into the classic plank position keeping stomach tucked in and contracted. Hold the water bottle in your right hand and extend arm forward. This is the starting position.

Step 2– While maintaining the plank, draw right arm back until your hand is near the chest then extend the arm back to start position. This is one rep. Do as many as you can then switch sides.

Serena William’s Daughter Olympia Ohanian Youngest Vogue Cover Star Ever!

Olympia Ohanian

We’re all used to mommy Williams breaking and holding records. However, now her daughter is already quickly following suit, at three months no less! Serena Williams covers the February 2018 edition of Vogue magazine along with her adorable bundle of joy; thus, marking another moment in Black Girl Magic Her-story. Serena William’s Daughter Olympia Ohanian Youngest Vogue Cover Star Ever!

Daughter Olympia Ohanian Youngest Vogue Cover Star Ever

Can we get a round of applause and three snaps in a “Z” formation for this momentous event? Serena is also just as excited over her new mag cover. Recently, she revealed two reasons why it feels so special. She says,

“When I first saw this Vogue magazine cover it brought tears to my eyes. Although [all] covers are special, but to share this one with my beautiful daughter, Olympia Ohanian also the youngest Vogue cover star, makes it a moment I will never forget. The article is a must read.

The best thing about my Vogue magazine cover was the one before it. The January issue with the beautiful Lupita Nyong’o; two amazing black women back to back is always exciting. Excellence!”

Olympia Ohanian

Great reasons coming from a great athlete! Speaking of greatness, want know just how iconic Serena Williams is in the history of tennis and sports? Here’s just a couple stats. At just 17, she won her first Grand Slam title. Moreover, she now holds 23 Grand Slam titles and is looking forward to breaking and setting the record for most titles which would be 25. Moreover, she holds 6 Longest winning streaks, 5 WTA Tour career earnings and oh yeah, four Olympic gold medals.

Nevertheless, even with that much accomplishment Williams is one of the most humble people you will come across. What keeps her so grounded? For Vogue Serena reveals,

“Women. They are so prominent, strong and vital to my life. My mom raised five women (one passed) and three grandchildren. I love this photo because we have a close bond.

This is what keeps me humble. They are not afraid to tell me anything, after all, I’m the youngest of five. I’m so happy Olympia has my mom as her grandma. Of course, she has Alexis’ stepmom as well, and I’m happy she has aunts like my sisters: Venus, Isha, Lyn and Alexis’sisters Amy and Hayley.

All women! Coincidence? I think not. She will fit right in.”
