Back Pain Reduces: By engaging your core and stabilizing the spine, planks help relieve tension in your lower back. A stronger core means better support and less strain on your back muscles. (Source: Photo by unsplash)

Balance and Coordination Gets Better: Planks engage stabilizer muscles that improve overall balance. You’ll find better coordination in daily movements and workouts like yoga or running. (Source: Photo by unsplash)

Metabolism: Even a one minute plank activates large muscle groups, slightly increasing your metabolism. Over time, this contributes to better calorie burn and overall fitness. (Source: Photo by unsplash)

Mood and Focus: Like other exercises, planking triggers the release of endorphins, natural mood boosters that reduce stress and improve focus throughout the day. (Source: Photo by unsplash)

Posture Improves: A minute long daily plank strengthens the back, chest, and shoulders, helping you stand taller and sit straighter, especially beneficial if you work long hours at a desk. (Source: Photo by unsplash)
