While in a plank, you are working your #glutes(butt muscles), #hamstrings, #quads, shoulders and #hipflexors as well. Planks help to reduce back pain because they strengthen your core and improve posture. Planks are also great for flexibility and balance. And the best thing about this workout: you can do it anytime and anywhere - no equipment necessary!"She recommends following steps to do planks properly:
