This exercise helped me improve my Bench Press and Push-ups
The Plank is a core exercise that you hold. It helps you learn to brace your mid-section by making you engage your abs and obliques, and also forcing you to engage you shoulder muscles, hip flexors, and quads, to hold you up and rigid.
All you have to do is go into push-up position, either on your hands or on your elbows, and maintain your body's rigidness as if it were a board, and just hold the position.
If the plank is too difficult, you work with a leg hold call the "6 incher". For this exercise, just lay on your back with your arms in a comfortable position, and straighten out your legs, as if you were about to do the Leg Raise. While keeping your legs straight and together through your heels, raise your heels about 6" off the ground and hold for time.
Work hard. Improve yourself. Be the Hero. You got this.
