Kate, mum-of-three swears by an move called the plank, which is similar to a push-up except a person's forearms rest on the ground instead of their hands. According to the paper’s report, plank practitioners have to maintain this position for a period of time, with the stance becoming more painful the longer it is held.

A source told Mail Online: "There are three elements, the basic plank, the side plank and the prone sky pe, all of which are positions Kate can hold for 45 seconds or longer and repeat at least ten times each”.
"The side plank requires you to balance on your side, holding your body straight with feet together and one arm flexed directly under your shoulder,” he added. "Meanwhile, the prone sky pe plank is slightly less excruciating, as you have to lie on your tummy and gently raise your chest off the floor until your tummy muscles beg for mercy."
She also uses an inflated gym ball to work her abs, an insider said.
Kate's impressive shape form may also be down to active lifestyle. The royal played hockey and tennis at school, as well as taking part in cross-country runs.
