Here, you can see the full plan, and you can also save or print it.

 

The plank is an excellent exercise to work the entire body. Especially the abdominal muscles and the lower back extensor are activated, but also the upper back, the shoulder muscles, the buttocks and the thigh muscles are trained.
If a plank is performed regularly, it can even prevent back pain and improve the posture of your body.
