Can you picture yourself changing your entire body in just four minutes a day?
It is plausible, and we will verify that it is still true in addition to being too good!
The 28-day Plank Challenge develops the body's strength and endurance, and its gradual advancement will ultimately have amazing results! Here's how to give it a try and see incredible results in just one month!
Four weeks should be enough to complete this challenge. Hold a position for 20 seconds at first, and then progressively extend the duration. However, it is not as simple as it seems because the final phase of planking takes a lot of work.
The quick and remarkable effects of this exercise are determined by the position, so you must learn it correctly.
Your elbows should be under the shoulders in order to distribute the weight properly. The spine should be entirely straight, to avoid unnecessary pressure on the back and neck. You should target the core and tighten it. The legs are spread a bit, and you should add no pressure to the hips.
Breathe slowly in order to engage the core completely, and relax the body.

This exercise is a full-body workout, even though you may think it is slightly simplistic. It provides many benefits:
- Tones the stomach. The exercise uses the core to stabilize the body and carry out the physical demands to maintain the proper position. It engages the stomach muscles, and thus they tighten and toned over time.
- Increases flexibility. As you work the shoulder and back muscles, the flexibility is boosted, and since the shoulder blades are stretched, you will achieve an improved range of motion.
- Promotes proper body posture. Good posture is significantly determined by the abs, so planks stabilize and balance the body, and thus straighten the body over time.
