Plank exercises not only improve endurance but also increase core strength. This exercise also helps reduce fat, giving you a toned body.
The core muscles are the center that connects the upper and lower body. This group of muscles helps enhance sports performance, support everyday movements, and protect you from injury.
You should hold the plank position for 2 minutes with correct posture. This 2-minute time proves that the core muscles are strong enough, capable of supporting sports performance, reducing the risk of injury. At the same time, supporting daily activities easily.
This interval also challenges the endurance of core muscles like the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques, without putting too much stress on your lower back or affecting your posture.
Holding the plank position for 2 minutes also helps balance strength and endurance, ensuring strong, well-functioning core muscles.
Note that core strength and plank endurance are skills you can develop over time and with regular practice.
Start with intervals where you can hold a plank for 20 to 40 seconds. Then gradually increase the time you hold the plank as your strength improves.
