Plank is an exercise for the body, which is performed in a position resembling push-ups, but relying on the forearms and toes. It consists in keeping the body in a straight line, tensing the muscles of the abdomen, back, buttocks and legs.

The plank can be performed in several versions, including a simple version based on the forearms and toes, a side plank, a plank on one arm, and others. In addition, there are many options for the plank using additional equipment, such as an Ab-roller wheel or dumbbells.
