Instructions
1. Start by lying flat on your stomach on an exercise mat or stable surface.
2. Place your elbows directly under your shoulders with your forearms flat on the ground, palms facing down.
3. Push off your elbows and forearms, raising your body off the ground. Your toes should be tucked under, and your body should form a straight line from your heels to your head.
4. Keep your core engaged, not allowing your hips to sag or pike up toward the ceiling.
5. Hold this plank position for a moment while maintaining your breathing.
6. Lower your body back to the starting position by bending your elbows and slowly, with control, bringing your torso down to the floor.
7. Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid strain or injury and engage the intended muscle groups effectively.
