Brace yourself!
Sometimes it can be challenging to fit exercise into your daily routine. The 4 Week Plank Challenge only needs you to set aside 2 to 4 minutes per day to blast that fatigue away and improve your musculoskeletal health.
Most UK adults sit for more than 9 hours a day! This sedentary lifestyle means that more often than not, we aren’t bracing our core and engaging our muscles. Over time, this can lead to poor posture resulting in musculoskeletal pain, weakened muscles and reduced balance.
The plank exercise challenges your entire body and is especially excellent for working the core, which is crucial for mobility and pain relief.
Did you know that by doing the plank, it can help to:
- Improve stability
- Reduce back pain
- Strengthen your core and back
- Build endurance
So, what’s the challenge?
This challenge starts in...
