At age 50, the core muscles are prone to weakness. This not only affects your figure but also your posture, stability and feeling safe when moving around every day.
The torso is the foundation for most of the body's movements, from walking, getting up from a chair, holding things on a high shelf with your hands to balancing to avoid tripping and falling. Therefore, side plank exercises are considered an important strength test, reflecting the body's stability and endurance.
When holding the body in this position, the muscle groups must coordinate to resist the force, supporting the spine. That stability is not only necessary in exercise but also useful in daily activities - helping carrying things, playing sports or exercising become lighter, while reducing pain at night.
Side Plank is also a long-term health protection exercise. Maintaining the strength and stability of the core muscles helps prevent falls - one of the major risks of old age.
