Harness The Power Of Planking.

Why You Should Start Doing Planks

Whether you want six-pack abs or content for your social media channel, plank exercises are equal parts fun trend and health mainstay.

“A plank is when you hold your body in a straight and in-line position like a plank of wood,” and when done correctly, it leads to a host of health benefits.

5 planking benefits.

1. Convenience
Planking is free and takes only a couple of minutes — no gym. “You can do it anywhere,”

2. Protects your back
“Our core needs to be strong to protect the spine when doing things that can cause back pain.

Such as lifting your child up or leaning forward to unload the dishwasher.

3. Prevents exercise-related injuries
We need to keep our spine straight to do these exercises.

Planking provides you with better core strength to be able to brace during these movements.

4. Improves posture
Planking alone won’t improve your posture, muscle memory might.

5. Boosts mental health
