Instructions
1. Start in a prone position on the ground, with your forearms and toes as the points of contact.
2. Raise your body up into a straight line, from your heels to your head. Make sure your elbows are directly below your shoulders and your forearms are facing forward.
3. Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles to prevent your hips from sagging or raising too high.
4. Keep your back straight and neutral, with your shoulders pulled down and back.
5. Hold this position, maintaining a tight core and controlled breathing.
6. Aim to maintain the hold for as long as possible without compromising form.
7. To end the exercise, gently lower your body back to the ground.
It is important to perform the plank with proper form to avoid strain on the back and to effectively work the target muscle groups.
