About

Plank is the best workout to train the core, the central muscle of our body!

How to Plank

Starting Position

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and lie face down with your knees straight.

2. Engage your hips and core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and support your body on the balls of your feet while lying face down with your knees straight.

2. Raise your hips to ensure your body forms a straight line from head to toe.

3. Perform the movement by pulling your belly button up to prevent your lower back from sagging.

Breathing Technique

Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.

Precautions

To avoid hunching your back, keep your body in a straight line and engage your core while holding the position.
