Holding a plank for 60 seconds or more activates multiple muscle groups, boosts endurance, and improves posture. Studies show consistent planking reduces back pain and strengthens your core better than crunches.

The article from MSN discusses various plank exercises aimed at strengthening the core and abs, while also highlighting common mistakes to avoid injuries. It lists nine plank variations including the standard forearm plank, side plank, plank with leg lift, plank jacks, reverse plank, plank with shoulder taps, plank to push-up, mountain climbers, and the spiderman plank. Each variation targets different muscle groups within the core, offering a comprehensive workout. Additionally, the article warns against four common mistakes: arching the back, improper hand placement, holding the breath, and sagging hips. These errors can lead to ineffective workouts or injuries, emphasizing the importance of proper form and technique in performing planks.
