Plank is a simple but effective exercise for strengthening your core muscles. Here are the steps to perform a plank:
- Lie on your stomach with your elbows under your shoulders and your forearms on the floor.
- Lift your hips and legs off the floor and align your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Keep your core tight and your back flat. Don't let your hips sag or your head drop.
- Hold this position for as long as you can, breathing normally.
- Repeat as many times as you want or until you feel fatigued.
