The plank and the side plank are often touted as a great core exercises.
This usually means that people ‘feel’ it in their mid section, but actually if you look at the mechanics of it, planks do a lot more than the work the core.
Rather than list all the muscles planks stimulates to contract, I find it easier to re-define what core means. Dr Gary Gray said it best when he described the core as “anything that connects the toes to the nose”.
"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
