As I finished my 30 Days Abs Challenge last April 2017, I stopped my cardio for a while because my weight is already in 45.7kg (my ideal weight) from 49kg and my goal for today is to gain muscles. I know you saw me eating burgers or pizzas SOMETIMES, and some of you always asked me how I maintained my body even I ate the one that should not to eat.

Wait what? Should not to eat? Haha. Actually you can eat all the food you want. But always remember, make it balanced and don't forget to cardio when you eat so much food/calories. Haha.
So let's get back to the topic. I do planking everyday. 1 minute or more than that. It's been my favorite exercise because I feel my core strengthen and my fats was burning. Plank is one of the best exercise to strengthen your core conditioning as it improves posture, supports a healthy back, enhances overall movement and of course, tones your midsection. The basic plank requires no equipment, can be done virtually anywhere.
What are the benefits of Plank Exercise?
1. It improves your Core Strength.
Planking won't give you a six pack, but if you paired it with a quality diet and a cardio, planks do help you develop the definition in your middle. The top benefits of doing plank regularly is that they strengthen your core - those muscles, bones, and joints that link the upper and lower body. Because we engage the core in our everyday life - when we turn, lift reach and bend.
2. It strengthen your back.
Plank helps the upper back muscles become stronger. It also helps reduce low-back pain and provide support for your back.
3. Gives better Posture and Balanced.
Since planks work on all the muscles of your core it helps your ability to stand straight and maintain better posture because the muscles of your core are vital for your overall posture.
4. It will toned up your Tummy.
Planking helps you develop deep inner core muscles. Performing them will strengthen and tighten your abs. It’s a great addition to any abs workout.
A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning, found that the plank provides 100% activation of your six-pack muscles whereas crunches only engage 64%.
5. You'll be Happier and Less Stressed.
Planks can lift your spirits and raise your energy level like the most other exercises.
It help to stretch and relax the muscles in the neck, shoulders and back that often become stiff and tense from prolonged sitting. Desk workers shoud take note this plank benefits. It also helps you to calm your brain.
