CORE WORKOUT - ADVANCED 3
Your core is your center of gravity. A strong core allows you to perform stronger functional movement throughout exercise and everyday life. In fact, you should constantly engage your core, whether you are doing a workout or a simple daily activity. Your core muscles are mobilized in many different types of movements: flexion, extension, rotation, abdominal bracing, pelvic tilting, and even the way your shoulder blades move. A strong core will help prevent injury and promote more efficient workouts overall.
Plank is one of the best exercises for bodyweight movements. Moreover, plank is a functional, full-body exercise that doesn't require much time or equipment to be super effective. You know planks best for working your core, but planks engage more than 20 muscles, including shoulders, back, arms, legs, and glutes. Even better, planks allow you to work your core without the risks of back injury and overstressed hip flexors that come with traditional sit-ups. Another great thing about planks: There are so many different versions to choose from: from simple to super tough, from classic to unique.
