🔹 Forearm plank – kinder on the wrists
🔹 Knees down – gentle on the lower back
🔹 Incline plank – hands on a bench or wall for beginners
🔹 Side plank – targets obliques and strengthens shoulder stability
🔹 Plank with leg lift – add a challenge & activate glutes
🕒 Quick Daily Plank Routine (3–5 Minutes):
