Mukti Mohan holds a 9-minute plank to break her own record, sister Shakti reacts: ‘Chal, battle ho jaaye’

Her nine-minute hold is a testament not just to physical ability but to discipline and persistence.

According to Goyal, planks offer benefits that extend far beyond a flat stomach. “A strong core contributes to better posture, reduced back discomfort, improved functional movement, and enhanced performance in other activities like dance, running or strength training,” said Goyal, adding that achieving a nine-minute hold signals not only endurance but also a high level of muscular coordination and body awareness.

What makes such an achievement especially inspiring is that she continues to push her own limits rather than chasing external comparisons. “Her approach reflects a balanced blend of consistency, mindful progression, and respect for her body,” said Goyal.
