what is exercise?
Plank
is an ideal exercise for strengthening vital
core muscles covering the abdomen, back,
hips, and pelvis. This exercise could also
help improve posture and strengthen the
muscles of the lower back.
How to
1. Rest the forearms on the ground.
2. Keep the arms parallel to the body at
a shoulder-width distance.
3. Look at a spot on the floor to have the
spine and neck neutralized.
4. Keep the head in line with the back.
5. Slightly lift the legs and the core a
little upwards with the tip of the toes
on the ground and hold it. Leg lifts
might be difficult in the beginning, so
take time to master them gradually.
6. The weight of the body will be
distributed between the forearms and
toes.
7. Retain the position for 30 seconds to
a minute. Do multiple sets of 30
seconds to a minute in one exercise
session.
