One of the most effective and most popular exercises around the world. It affects the abs, but also the muscles of the entire body. Always give it 5 minutes a day and you will be surprised by the results.

The essence of this exercise is to “float” above the floor for several minutes, at least once a day, relying only on the hands and feet. Undoubtedly, remaining in this position for 2-5 minutes is not an easy task.

Lie on the floor on your stomach down. Bend your elbows 90 degrees and set in the lying position on your elbows. The body should form a straight line from head to heels. Rely only on your forearms and the fingertips on your feet. The elbows should be directly under your shoulders. Keep your body as flat as possible, strain the abdominal muscles and do not relax. Try not to lower your hips toward the floor.

Hold this position as long as you can. To begin with, is enough for 10 seconds. As a rule, people with different physical readiness maintain this posture for 10 seconds to 2 minutes. After a break of 2 minutes, repeat the exercise. 5 repetitions will be enough. If you are a beginner, do not try to break the record, start slowly.

It is very important to do this exercise daily, preferably at the same time. 


How To Exercise The “Plank”



  • Feet. Assemble them. It will be difficult to keep the balance that will increase pressure on the abdominal muscles.
    • Legs. They should be straight and tight, otherwise, the pressure in the right abdominal muscle, which reserves the lumbar spine, will also be reduced.
    • Buttocks. Stretch and do not relax until the end of the exercise, as this increases the activation of all muscles of the lower torso.
    • Lower back. The most important moment. For proper execution of the exercise, your lower back should be flat. This means that it must not be curved or dented. Imagine that your back adheres tightly to the wall.
    • Stomach. Bring it in, and in such a position, try to even tuck it under the ribs. During the exercise hold your stomach in such a position, but do not hold your breath.
    • Elbows. To avoid unnecessary burden on your shoulders, put your elbows directly below the shoulder joints.

    • Stretched hands. It is quite obvious that together with the feet in this exercise, you are intensively training the hands. Half of the body weight is held on them.

    Swiss Jokes

    What is so good about being Swiss?

    Well, the flag is a Big plus.



    A Mafia Don walks into a Swiss bank. He is accompanied by several henchmen who whip out machine-guns.

    The Don says, "Do as I say and nobody gets hurt! Bring me the manager."

    The manager comes out and the Don says, "Members of my organisation have been swindling me out of money and depositing it in this bank. Give me their names and I'll let you live."

    The manager replies, "We Swiss bankers never give out the names of our customers."

    The Don shouts, "This is your last warning! Give me the names or we kill you and everyone in this building!"

    But the manager says, "We Swiss bankers would rather die than betray the trust of our clients."

    So the Don nods to his henchmen and they put their machine-guns away. Then he starts pulling thick wads of hundred-dollar bills from his pockets and says,
    "I would like to open an account here, please."
