Can you train your abdominal muscles by doing planks?

Plank support is also a kind of exercise method. If you use this plank support to exercise, you can strengthen your physical fitness and make your physical fitness more perfect. However, few people can stick to this kind of exercise, so the hope of training abdominal muscles without making efforts is still relatively slim. This kind of plank support mainly exercises the strength of the whole body, and the best thing is to exercise the strength of the abdomen. So can plank support exercise abdominal muscles?

The best way is still some common movements, such as the most common sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, etc. The most important thing is persistence. When it comes to muscle building, the willpower to persist is the most important. It is recommended to do each set to exhaustion, 5-6 sets.

The abdominal muscles recover quickly and can be trained every day.

Let me give you an example. Do 6 sets of 25-30 crunches every day before going to bed.

Abdominal muscles are small muscles, so you don't need to pay special attention to nutritional supplements unless you also train other parts of your body. There’s no harm in eating two more eggs, haha.

This is mainly for core strength training. Abdominal muscles can be trained with planks, but abdominal muscles are mainly developed with sit-ups.

What we are going to do is a 6-minute abdominal muscle exercise. This set of exercises is mainly to be done quickly and does not require any equipment. You can do it anytime and anywhere.

Our first exercise is the reverse curl, which is a good exercise for the lower abdomen. Many people want to get rid of excess fat and show off their abdominal muscles. This exercise is specifically designed to train the lower abdomen. We will do this exercise 20 times.

The second exercise is the foot-touching curl, which mainly exercises the upper abdominal muscles. We also do this exercise 20 times.

The third movement is Plank. According to the standard practice of Plank, maintain a fixed posture for 30 seconds, which mainly exercises the abdominal muscles and quadriceps. We stick to this movement for 30 seconds.

We do the whole set of movements four times without pausing in between, so we will complete it quickly without resting, which will quickly induce a burning sensation in the body. Remember, you don't have to spend too much time training your abdominal muscles. I see many people spend 20 minutes doing various abdominal muscle exercises like curls, but they still don't have abdominal muscles.

Please remember that in order to show your abdominal muscles, you must first lose excess abdominal fat. These exercises are very effective for training abdominal muscles. However, if you still have a lot of fat in your abdomen, then no matter whether you complete 4 rounds or 20 rounds a day, even if you train your abdomen to be very sore, it will not show any shape, because you have to lose the fat first. My suggestion is that when you are doing abdominal muscle training, this set of movements is very suitable for you to cooperate with other movements. Even if you don’t have much exercise time or exercise progress, these are all very good abdominal muscle training programs, or you can use this set of movements when the exercise is almost completed, that is, after completing other fat-burning exercises. Remember your main goal—to lose excess fat.

I usually only spend 10 minutes each time exercising my abdominal muscles, once every other day, and to be honest, most of the time I only do 5 minutes, and only do 3-4 sets each time.

This plank can exercise your abdominal muscles, but if you choose to use this plank to exercise, you must stick to it every day. Plank is very hard. If you can't stick to it, it is best to choose other ways to exercise. When exercising your abdominal muscles, you can also use dumbbells, barbells and other tools to exercise your abdominal skin.
