PLANKING, HOW IS DONE?
Start the right pose. Physical Living stated this:
Arms are vital. Elbows must be under shoulders, parallel for divided weight.
Spine is straight, back flat to avoid pressure on neck.
Core is flexed.
Legs are slightly spread, no pressure in hips, adjust feet.
Slowly breathe and flex core.
BENEFITS
The belly is toned since it is the center of a plank. The abdomen engages all muscles, this is better than crunches.
Posture is better too. Since abs make posture, you will walk straighter.
Flexibility is amazing. Mercola.com claimed you will be more flexible this way. Better motion ranges and stretching.
