How to do it:

  • Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.

  • Engage your core, glutes, and legs, keeping your hips level and spine neutral.

  • Hold this position for 20–60 seconds, maintaining proper form throughout.

Why it’s effective:

The Plank activates the entire core, which stabilizes the spine and pelvis. Strengthening these muscles improves posture, balance, and overall body control during daily activities and exercise.

Common benefits:

Strengthens core, shoulders, and glutes, improves spinal and pelvic stability, supports proper posture and movement mechanics, enhances balance and overall functional strength and reduces risk of lower back injuries.
