After a grueling training session Wednesday, Orlando Pride teammates Ali Riley and Gunny Jónsdóttir kicked off rehab with a core workout just for fun — a gravity-defying double plank, Riley balanced on top of her teammate who held them both above the ground with just her arms.
When Riley shared the picture to social media, it stirred applause from Pride fans and a light amount of controversy, too.
Coach Marc Skinner expressed his admiration for the pair’s core strength — dubbing the pose the “super plank” with a laugh — but he also revealed the secret behind the shot.
