Things to note when doing a push-up plank

We can do some fitness exercises in our daily life without any equipment, such as push-ups or sit-ups. Some of the more difficult exercises include the prone plank. For friends who often do push-up planks, using the correct method and posture can better exert the exercise effect of push-up planks. The following is an introduction to what you should pay attention to when doing a push-up plank.

Be sure to keep your elbows and shoulders at right angles to your body. Get into a prone position on the floor, supporting your weight on your toes and your forearms. Bend your arms and place them under your shoulders.

Keep your body straight at all times and maintain this position for as long as possible. To increase the difficulty, the arms or legs can be raised. Keep your shoulders over your elbows, keep your abs engaged (under control), and keep your hips no higher than your shoulders, with your feet shoulder-width apart. You can put your hands together and lift your hips slightly when you hold the position for more than 75 seconds (because your hips will sink as time goes by, so you need to keep your hips, waist and legs in a straight line). Keeping your neck tilted forward can help exercise your neck.

The effect of the exercise is to strengthen your core muscles, making you thinner and healthier, and away from lower back pain. This movement mainly shapes the lines of the waist, abdomen and hips. More importantly, it can help maintain the balance of the shoulder blades and make your back line more charming.

The difficulty of prone plank is higher than other items. If you do not pay attention to the training method, it may cause physical damage. Therefore, for friends who often do prone plank exercises, paying attention to the above precautions can help you better exercise your body and also help us avoid injuries.
