Planking and benefits.


A good workout that works most of your body at once is the Plank!

Just the basic plank alone works your upper and lower abs, obliques and even your lower back!
Planking is very good as it helps to build a good posture and according to Web-MD, it helps to prevent back injuries.



Planking helps abs to stay contracted even in a standing up position as it gets use to contracting in a straight line.
It works on your body weight and builds your core stability! You end up burning calories whilst building firm muscles.

Best thing about it; It can be done Anywhere!

How to do a basic plank. 

  • Lay on the floor.
  • Get up in a push-up position with elbows touching the floor instead of your palm.
  • Get your body straight with your toes pointing downwards.
  • Look down onto the floor to ensure your body is fully straight and aligned with the floor.
  • Hold this position for 20 seconds, release and repeat.
Advance planking. You can bring your legs in a crab-like form, with your thigh touching your obliques and your feet pointed outwards. Repeat on the other leg for one complete Rep. Side planks are more advance but they are sure worth it.

For more resistance, you could plank using a ball..
