The board (plank) is a very misunderstood, overlooked and underrated exercise . You do not have equipment, there is no need even to go one gym to execute. And that, perhaps, is the reason that is ignored by too many. But until one can experience it can not be convinced that this is an excellent exercise for abs.

Unlike other movements, such as the known crunches, the leg deadlifts in parallel bars etc, the board turns around the trunk with a simple movement ... basically, not moving, as this isometric exercise trunk strength which requires full stabilization of the whole of the body. Not only that but the abdominal shoulders, the quadriceps and gluteus which contract to keep the body straight.

The board also improves flexibility in many parts of the body such as the shoulders, neck and femoral biceps, and improves overall posture.
