According to fitness experts, there is a single, extremely powerful, exercise that will help you get a flat and a tight belly, as it is even more effective than 1000 traditional sit ups. It is also known as “the plank”. This exercise will undoubtedly make your abdomen tight and flat, it will also improve your body posture, and it will also soothe your pain in the back.
However, note that you need to learn how to properly do “a plank” in order to obtain the results it offers. This is how to properly place your body:
Start face down on the floor resting on your forearms and knees.
Push off the floor, raising up off your knees onto your toes and resting mainly on your elbows.
Contract your abdominals to keep yourself up and prevent your booty from sticking up.
Keep your back flat, don't let it drop or you'll be defeating the purpose. Picture your body as a long straight board, or a plank.
In order to activate the muscles of the lower body, you should contract the muscles of the buttock. However, remember not to raise it up, as the entire body should be flat as a plank, not in a triangular shape.
In order to make it easier to maintain this position, you should breathe deeply and evenly.
Focus on a spot on the floor beyond your hands, in order to keep the spine, head and neck straight.
You need to start contracting the abdominal muscles and remain in this position for 20-60 seconds.
Afterward, relax your body.
Hold as long as you can. Aim for 20-30 seconds in the beginning and work your way up to one minute, as you get stronger.
The main focus of this exercise is your abdominal area, but you will also feel the pressure in your legs as well. Therefore, put the heels in a position that the pressure is transferred to the toes and feel the tension in the muscles of the thighs.
Repeat the plank 3 times in a row, on a daily basis, and in a month, you will be astonished by the effects!
