Society now pursues thinness as beauty, so many people have joined the weight loss army, with each person choosing different weight loss methods, hence adopting different exercise methods. Many people say that they can choose to diet without exercise, but in reality, long-term dieting without exercise doesn’t have much effect. Today, the editor wants to introduce to everyone a weight loss method, which is doing planks.
Can daily persistence in doing “planks” really help with weight loss and slimming? Take some time to find out.
I believe for those who regularly work out, being familiar with planks is not strange. Planks are a type of anaerobic exercise, and many people prefer this method during training because it is simple and effective. By persistently doing planks, not only will your body shape become more beautiful, but it will also eliminate excess fats, improving your physique.
So, do planks really have such great effects? In reality, not entirely, as doing planks also requires the correct form and method. If done incorrectly, not only will the weight loss goal not be achieved, but there is also a possibility of harming your health. First, let’s understand the principle of weight loss through planks. When doing planks, all muscles in the body are in a contracted state, resulting in a significant energy consumption throughout the process, which also provides some help in burning body fat.
However, doing planks is not that simple. During planks, it is recommended to do more than 10 repetitions daily, with each repetition lasting about 3 to 5 minutes being the most suitable. If one can persist for over half an hour, the weight loss effect will be more significant. Therefore, doing planks not only requires correct form but also sufficient time to achieve the desired results.
Consistency in doing planks will bring about these 4 unexpected benefits.
Visible abdominal lines: Regularly doing planks will easily trim off the excess fat around your abdomen since planks accelerate the burning of abdominal fat, resulting in a noticeable effect on sculpting the abdominal muscles and burning fat.
Improved waist health: Doing planks with proper form and holding for an extended period can enhance waist health. In recent years, many people have developed lumbar spine-related ailments, and daily planks can help alleviate lower back soreness.
Overall slimming effect: Those who persist in doing daily planks can accelerate the burning of body fat, leading to increased caloric expenditure and gradual weight loss. Additionally, doing planks will enhance body coordination.
Enhanced physical fitness: Consistently doing planks daily aids in improving physical fitness. It is known that many people nowadays do not enjoy physical activity, leading to a decline in physical fitness. By persisting in doing daily planks, blood circulation can be accelerated, aiding in the elimination of toxins and waste from the body, thus promoting overall health.
