How To Do A Plank Properly (And Avoid Injury)

Your core is made up of several muscle groups and covers your abdominals, back, hips, pelvis, and buttocks. A weak core can cause all kinds of problems.

But the biggest issue with core weakness is low back pain. Back muscles and your core help to stabilize your body before any movement. If your core is weak, the other surrounding muscles have to compensate. Over time, these muscles can suffer strain, which leads to lingering pain.

That’s why it’s so important to strengthen your core muscles. One of the best exercises to do this is the plank. The plank pose is where you hold a push-up position while resting on your forearms. This simple move is the ideal exercise for strengthening core muscles.

However, doing a plank incorrectly can lead to more harm than good. In this video Dave demonstrates how to do the perfect plank.
