Plank Knees Static Tips

  1. Position your body correctly: Start by lying face down on the floor, then prop yourself up on your forearms and toes, keeping your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine, and ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. This alignment is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of the exercise and targeting your abs.
  2. Breathe deeply and maintain proper form: As you hold the plank position, remember to take deep breaths to oxygenate your muscles. Focus on keeping your body in a straight line, avoiding any sagging or arching of your back. Imagine a plank of wood running through your body, keeping it stable and strong. This mental image will help you engage your abs and maintain the correct form throughout the exercise.
  3. Engage your abs and squeeze your glutes: To truly activate your abs during the plank, imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine. This action will help you engage the deep abdominal muscles, making the exercise more challenging and effective. Additionally, squeeze your glutes (your buttock muscles) to further stabilize your body and intensify the workout for your core.
  4. Start with shorter holds and gradually increase duration: If you’re a beginner, it’s important to start with shorter plank holds to build strength and endurance. Begin with 10 to 20
