Why is the plank useful?
If you don’t know what exercise you are talking about, I recommend searching for Zumba or fitness instructor videos on the Internet (type in Plank).
This is a static exercise, during which you need to hold your body in a raised position and hold it in one position for a few seconds (or minutes). After watching the video, it may seem very simple, but you are wrong - you need to engage different muscles and hold it in one position. You need to start with a few seconds at first and increase the interval over time.
The plank is useful for the spine, back, buttocks and limb muscles - this exercise improves breathing, concentration, and endurance.
During the plank, you are required to breathe correctly, which is an additional bonus for mental health.
After completing the workout, you will feel like you have challenged your willpower and defeated laziness, which is a guarantee of a positive mood.
Plank is ideal for the torso.
