Plank

Build core strength and stability with this classic bodyweight hold.

The plank is a foundational movement that strengthens your core, stabilizes your spine, and reinforces posture. It’s simple but highly effective — and can be performed anywhere without equipment. Whether you're training for strength, endurance, or injury prevention, FitnessTracker encourages you to make planks a core part of your routine.

Instructions

  1. Start face-down on the floor, resting on your forearms and toes.
  2. Align your shoulders directly above your elbows and keep your head neutral.
  3. Engage your abs and glutes, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  4. Hold the position as long as you can without letting your hips drop or rise.
  5. To increase difficulty, try lifting one arm or leg while maintaining your form.
