  1. To start, lie on a mat with your abdomen facing down.
  2. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees and align them with your shoulders.
  3. The body should form a straight line from the head to the heels.
  4. Rest your body weight on your forearms and toes.
  5. Contract your abdominal muscles throughout the exercise.
  6. Your hips must remain raised throughout the exercise.
  7. Start by holding the position for 15-30 seconds, increasing as your physical condition improves.

Below we list the main benefits of the plank if done every day.

  1. Tones your muscles . The plank involves many different muscle groups, such as those of the abdomen, legs and buttocks. Each muscle has a different function and it is important that it is well toned and trained
  2. Reduces the risk of injury . A strong core gives your body the ability to perform movements without risk of injury. Having strong muscles allows us to protect the spine and other joints.
  3. You can do it anywhere . To do the plank you don’t need special equipment or a lot of space: you can do it in a corner of your home and dedicate a few minutes a day to it.
  4. Improves balance . A stronger body is also more stable and is essential for balance and coordination of movements.
