Exercise Profile

Plank Static Overview

The Plank static workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles.

It involves maintaining a straight body position, supported by the forearms and toes, for an extended period.

While it also engages secondary muscles, such as the shoulders and glutes, the focus remains on strengthening the core.

Plank Static Tips

  1. Start by positioning your body in a straight line, with your forearms on the ground and elbows directly below your shoulders.
  2. Engage your core muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, and squeeze your glutes to maintain proper alignment.
  3. Breathe deeply and hold the plank position for as long as you can, aiming to gradually increase your time over each session.
  4. Avoid sagging or lifting your hips, keeping your body parallel to the ground throughout the exercise.
  5. For an extra challenge, try variations such as side planks or plank jacks to engage different muscle groups.
  6. Remember to listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort. Consistency and proper form are key to progress.
