The static low plank can be a very effective way to fire up
your abdominal muscles especially when you raise one leg up.
For years, crunches and sit ups have dominated the
abdominal world but unfortunately they don't do a good job
of working your "deeper" muscle tissue AND they can stress
out your lower back causing pain and discomfort.

Planking exercises have been proven to engage the deeper
layers of the abdominal wall and build a core you can brag
about. Not only will the abdomen begin to look better
(tighter/flatter), BUT your core strength will soar allowing
you to perform better in other full body, complex lifts such
as the squat, deadlift and bench press.

How many times do you see a dude at the gym doing push-
ups and he's sagging his way through the reps...hips just
about touching the floor looking unimpressive and weak?
All the time, right? Take that same guy and put him through
an effective planking routine for 4-6 weeks and then have
him do a few rounds of push-ups to failure...it won't be his
abs giving in, his arms and chest may finally succumb to the
fatigue but not that rock solid abdomen he's created.
