3. Risk of injury in the spinal column and back will be decreased
By doing planks you build muscles. The best thing is that this kind of exercise does not put too much pressure on your hips or spine. After practicing planking, most people notice that they no longer have back pain. The reason why this happens is because their back muscles become stronger and can support the upper back much better.
4. Overall balance will be improved
Our abdominal muscles should be strong enough in order to provide us with the balance we need when we try standing on one leg. If you cannot stand straight (and you know you are sober), it means that your abdominal muscles are too weak and need strengthening. Balance can be improved by performing planks. Try out planking with extensions – this activity will improve your performance and endurance in most other sporting areas.
