Proper Plank Form for Stronger Abs by Keino Rutherford | Oct 13, 2021 | Exercise, Fitness
The plank exercise has been featured in most abs workouts. It is an exercise where your body works against gravity by holding a certain pose. It’s believed that it is effective in the stabilization and strengthening of your core muscles. It’s not as easy in practice as it looks on paper.
How long should you hold a plank to produce results? You got to hold a plank for ten seconds to see results. The 10-second rule was established in research conducted by spine specialist Stuart McGill, Ph.D. However, some trainers disagree with this and argue that you only get to start from 10 seconds as you progress to 60 seconds. McGill believes that the common person’s back health is important and limits it to 3 sets of 10- second planks.
How to correctly do a plank Your position throughout the plank determines whether it’s the correct form or not. Having the correct position will promote the health of your spine. Start in the press-up keinorutherford.org/proper-plank-form-for-stronger-abs/
