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.
If you’re looking for a simple, no-equipment workout to tighten your midsection, this 30-day plank challenge is the perfect place to start!
Each day, you’ll gradually increase your plank duration, building endurance and strength. By the end of the challenge, you’ll be able to hold a plank for up to 5 minutes!
