Planks are a basic and efficient bodyweight exercise that works your complete body
as well as your core.
Planking every day can help you improve your core strength, balance, and provide a
variety of other benefits.
Plank is a great exercise for burning belly fat while also toning your midsection.
Holding a plank position requires effort; more effort means your body burns more
calories because your heart rate and metabolism are elevated.
If you're a beginner, a 20-30 second plank hold will be enough, as you gain strength, gradually increase the duration (add another 10 seconds). Don't push yourself too hard because improving core strength takes time. You can increase the number of seconds in your plank workout as your core strength improves.
Any workout or movement burns calories, but the plank is a complex exercise that engages numerous muscles at once, resulting in an increase in energy consumption. Try to hold this posture for at least 20 seconds.
To get the most out of a plank, be sure you do it correctly. If you want to do a proper plank, follow the guidelines:
-Begin by doing push-ups on the ground.
-Bend your elbow to a 90-degree angle, which will allow you to place weight on your forearm.
-Keep your back straight and natural by engaging your core.
