The plank is a simple but incredibly effective core strengthening exercise which, when performed right, will not only strengthen and activate your core, but also your arms, bum, back and legs,’ says personal trainer Adam Stansbury (theplantpoweredpt.com). ‘It’s a static move that requires no equipment and can be performed anywhere. It engages multiple muscles at once and by improving the engagement of the core muscles, it will tighten your tummy, your bum and improve your ability to generate power and stability throughout the body, preventing injury and improving posture.’
