The plank, also called a front hold, hover, or abdominal bridge is an isometric core strength exercise that involves maintaining a position similar to a push-up for the maximum possible time. The plank strengthens the abdominals, back and shoulders. Muscles involved in the front plank include: 1️⃣Primary muscles: erector spinae, rectus abdominis (abs), and transverse abdominis. 2️⃣Secondary muscles (synergists/segmental stabilizers): trapezius (traps), rhomboids, rotator cuff, the anterior, medial, and posterior deltoid muscles (delts), pectorals (pecs), serratus anterior, gluteus maximus (glutes), quadriceps (quads), and gastrocnemius. Muscles involved in the side plank include: 1️⃣Primary: transversus abdominis muscle, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles (abductors), the adductor muscles of the hip, and the external, and internal obliques. 2️⃣Secondary: gluteus maximus (glutes), quadriceps (quads), and hamstrings. #stayfitwithanand #physiotherapy #physio #physiogram #instagram #health #healthylifestyle #fitness #iaftworld #fitnessmotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CNSoc73jADo/?igshid=wmijn7n3ahme
