Simple move for a fitter life
Last year, the plank exercise was still a new thing for most Chinese. Now, the exercise is so popular that not only do many people post photos of themselves doing it on social media, there was even a Plank World Cup, which was held for the first time in Beijing last month.
The plank, also known as the front hold or hover, is a core strength exercise that involves suspending the body in a horizontal position with one’s forearms and toes. Its popularity in China can be partially attributed to real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi, according to Beijing Youth Daily. Last November, he posted a photo on Weibo, in which he performed the move with former US ambassador to China Gary Locke.
The celebrity effect may have started the plank wave, but its popularity lies more in the exercise’s simplicity and benefits. Without any special equipment, it can be done anytime, anywhere. Plus, it’s the most effective and efficient way to exercise the abdominal muscles (abs).
While performing the exercise, all of your abs, including the *transverse, *oblique and upper abs, must work together to stabilize and support your whole body. It also exercises what is known as your “core” muscles, including the hips and the upper back muscles that protect your spine, which gives you more stability and a better balance. Other muscle groups, including the gluteus, shoulders, lats, arms, and legs, are toned and tightened as well.
A new record for the plank exercise was set at last month’s competition by US fitness enthusiast and retired marine soldier George Hood. His time was four hours and one minute.
How long can you hold the position Of course, the time isn’t all that counts. But, why not take a few minutes every day to work toward a better and healthier body
