Why even starting a planking challenge ??
There are number of great reasons for starting “the planking challenge” , pay attention:
1.Achieving a great muscle toned body.
2.Your pains in the back area will magically disappear and the injury risk will reduce.
3.Flexibility is what you will gain.
4.By decreasing tension your mood will be much better improved.
5.You will get a strengthen posture.
6.You will improve your balance.
You will boost your metabolism to burn more calories and makes the extra fat hits the rode.
In order for this goals to be achieved, one of the fundamental things is to exercise or challenge your planks in the correct way. For those inexperienced in planking , we provided some guide for you, before getting on the floor.
1.Your elbows must be hold directly underneath your shoulders and your wrists aligned with your elbows.
Push your body up into the upper back and hold your chin close to the neck (imagine you are holding an egg in between your chin and throat).
3.In this position, brace your abdominals, squeeze your gluteal (tailbone) and thigh muscles while continuing to breathe normally.
After placing yourself in this right “plank” position it’s time for some calories to get burned.
Are you ready for some planking?
Ready, set, go!
