Plank Exercise for Abs

The Plank exercise is a great way to build endurance in both the abs and back, as well as stabilizer muscles. To do it right:

1. Resting on the forearms lie with your face down and palms flat on the floor.


2. Resting on the elbows, push yourself off the floor by raising up onto toes.


3. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels and your back flat.


4. Contract your abs to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air and tilt your pelvis.


5. Be in this position for 20 to 60 seconds, lower down and repeat this for 3-5 reps.
