By regularly performing the Plank exercise, it is possible to sculpt abdominal muscles and strengthen the spine
If you think that time passes too quickly, you have probably never tried this exercise! It is an exercise position called the plank, which consists of raising the body horizontally and sustaining this position supported only by the forearms and toes.
The Women Daily Magazine has come up with their idea of a 28-day program, requiring only a few seconds each day, that promises to deliver significant benefits in regards to strength and fitness.
In particular, this program sculpts your abs, strengthens the back muscles that help to maintain correct posture, and it is also a great workout for the legs.
All these fantastic results just by remaining in one position!
