‘Margot Robbie Outperforms ‘Barbie’ Cast in Plank Challenge Victory’

• Margot Robbie emerged victorious in a plank challenge against her fellow “Barbie” cast members.
• She maintained her plank position for an impressive four minutes and 10 seconds, surpassing Ryan Gosling by over a minute.
• Renowned personal trainer David Higgins employed a combination of Pilates and strength training to whip the cast into shape.

From mandatory pink days to indulging in special tea, Margot Robbie fully committed to her role as Barbie.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that she emerged as the winner in a “Barbie” cast plank challenge.

Personal trainer David Higgins, based in London, who worked with the cast during filming, recently shared a photo of himself alongside Robbie, showcasing the challenge’s results on his website.

While Higgins claimed the top spot with a five-minute and 32-second plank, Robbie trailed closely behind with a remarkable four minutes and 10 seconds.

She outperformed her co-stars Ryan Gosling (three minutes and two seconds), Hari Nef (two minutes and 15 seconds), and her husband Tom Ackerley (one minute and 36 seconds).

Higgins has been training Robbie since 2015, assisting her in preparing for “The Legend of Tarzan,” as reported by PopSugar.

The “Barbie” cast bonded through their workouts in London, with Higgins describing the experience as a collaborative and enjoyable one.

According to Higgins, the female cast members predominantly participated in four days of Pilates and two days of strength and conditioning work each week.

Meanwhile, the male cast members, including Gosling and Simu Liu, focused on four days of strength training and two days of Pilates.

Higgins incorporated circuit-style workouts on strength and conditioning days, targeting the shoulders, biceps, back, lower body, and concluding with an abdominal exercise, often a plank.

Planks contribute to overall body strength and muscle development, and Robbie is not the only celebrity who has accomplished impressive plank records. Cher once revealed that she held a plank for five minutes.

Higgins encourages individuals to diversify their workouts and try new exercises in order to maintain fitness. “Why not learn how to do it all?” he suggests. “Your body responds significantly well to diversity.”
