Plank is a core strengthening exercise that stretches and exercises your stomach muscles, along with increasing the strength of your arms and legs.

Also, planking gives your whole body a general workout.

  • Raise your upper body, placing your weight on your forearms and knees.
  • Lift your knees one at a time, shifting your entire weight to your toes.
  • Ensure your body forms a straight line.
  • Inhale deeply and hold your position for at least 30 seconds.
  • Exhale as you lower your knees and return to the starting position.
  • Repeat this exercise once daily.

Importantly work on your stamina until you can hold your plank position for at least 2 minutes at a time and visibly flatten belly.
