planker

One installing boards

A planker is someone who planks—either performing the plank exercise (holding a rigid, horizontal position supported by forearms and toes) or participating in the internet fad of lying face-down, stiff as a board, in unusual public locations for photos: The planker balanced on a park bench while his friend snapped the picture.
