The article from MSN discusses the importance of incorporating the Copenhagen plank into lower body workouts. This exercise, which involves lying on your side with your elbow under your shoulder and your top leg resting on a bench while lifting your body, targets the adductor muscles, which are often neglected in typical leg routines. These muscles are crucial for stabilizing the hips and knees, enhancing overall lower body strength, and reducing the risk of injuries. The Copenhagen plank not only strengthens the inner thighs but also engages the core, obliques, and shoulders, making it a comprehensive exercise for improving stability and functional fitness. The article emphasizes that while many focus on quads, hamstrings, and glutes, neglecting the adductors can lead to imbalances and potential injuries, thus advocating for the inclusion of this move in regular fitness routines.
