The Plank is not just an ab-strengthening exercise, it’s also one of the most beneficial and versatile exercises for overall core stability.

Performed correctly, it targets the entire core including deep abdominal muscles, obliques, lower back, and even the glutes, all of which play critical roles during everyday life and activity.

Incorporating planks into your exercise routine helps maintain proper posture, reducing strain on your lower back and hips, and prevents common injuries such as IT band syndrome, lower-back pain, and runner's knee.

To maximize plank benefits, ensure the body remains in a straight line from the head to the heels, with elbows positioned directly beneath the shoulders. Engage the glutes, core, and thighs actively to maintain form.

Beginners should aim for intervals of 20-30 seconds, gradually working up to holding positions for one to two minutes or longer.
Advanced exercisers can add variations like side planks or plank with leg lifts to challenge stability further.

Performing planks 3 to 4 times per week as part of strength-training sessions can significantly improve your running efficiency, endurance, and resilience and benefit all sports.

CPR and AEDs are both crucial tools in treating sudden cardiac arrest, but they address different aspects of the emergency. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) manually maintains circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and heart until the heart restarts or professional help arrives. AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are devices that analyze the heart's rhythm and deliver an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.
