Planks are one of the most effective core-strengthening exercises for women. They engage multiple muscle groups, including the abs, obliques, back, shoulders, and glutes, making them an excellent full-body workout. Unlike crunches, planks improve core stability, posture, and even help prevent lower back pain.
