plank pose

Horizontal body brace

Plank pose is a foundational exercise position where the body forms a rigid straight line from head to heels, supported on the hands or forearms and toes.

The pose strengthens core muscles and appears in yoga, Pilates, and general fitness training.

Holding a plank for extended periods is a common endurance challenge: I can hold a plank pose for two minutes now.
