The plank is an isometric core exercise that strengthens the entire core musculature. Begin in a push-up position, then lower onto your forearms, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core, glutes, and quads to prevent your hips from sagging or rising too high. The intent is to maintain a rigid, stable torso, resisting extension and rotation.
Skip or adapt this movement if any of these apply — and check with a professional when in doubt.
