Plank is an effective exercise that engages the whole body.We come across Plank in all kinds of different exercise variations (functional training, yoga, pilates).
Planks can improve your abs, back muscles, neck, hips and shoulders. You will boost your metabolism if performed every day. You will burn more calories compared to other traditional abdominal exercises. You’ll improve your balance, proprioception and concentration. You will also minimize the risk of spinal injury.
If you have no choice, it’s an inexpensive solution that can be performed everywhere and in short time. However, despite its benefits, just one exercise is not a complete workout program that your body needs. With the right guidance from an exercise trainer, you can achieve the maximum results.
