How to do plank support, the correct posture of plank support

Plank can exercise our body's core muscles very well and has become very popular in current fitness methods. The most important thing in practicing plank is to persist and maintain the correct posture so as not to hurt the lumbar spine and make the body better.

1. Correct posture for plank support

When doing a plank, use your elbows and toes as support points, with your elbows open to the same width as your shoulders and directly underneath your body. Engage your abs and keep your hips, upper back, and head in one line. Hold the position for about 60 seconds and repeat multiple times. When doing this movement, be careful not to bend your waist. Otherwise, you will not be able to exercise your abdominal muscles and may injure your lumbar spine.

The core muscle group is the most important and most commonly used muscle group in our body. Having a strong core muscle group can make our daily movements easier, more agile, and more vigorous, and can also lay a good foundation for other sports. When doing plank exercises, the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles are tightened, allowing the spine to be in a natural physiological curvature. The movements are simple, but they can exercise the muscle groups in the back, abdomen, lower back, buttocks, as well as the core muscle groups such as the adductor muscles and diaphragm. While giving you a strong physique, it can also relieve back and waist pain.
