What is the Plank?

The plank is an extremely effective core exercise that strengthens the abdominal muscles as well as the stabilizing muscles of the torso. Easy to incorporate into any routine, this exercise is suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, from muscle strengthening goals to enhancements in stability and posture.

How to properly perform the Plank

  1. Start by getting into a push-up position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  2. Engage your core muscles and hold this position, keeping your back flat and your hips in line with your shoulders.
  3. Avoid sagging your hips or lifting them too high.
  4. Hold the plank for the desired duration, focusing on maintaining proper form and breathing steadily.
  5. To modify the exercise, you can perform the plank on your forearms instead of your hands.
  6. Repeat for the recommended number of sets and duration.
