Planking


In the last 2 to 2 1/2 years I have been doing a daily exercise - planking.  This is where you rest on your forearms and tips of your toes only.  It is very good for toning the abdominal and to a lesser extent the lower back muscles.

I was introduced to this exercise by my tae kwon do instructor back in the early 2000s but I did not take it up.  However, since starting boxing in 2013, my instructor re-introduced it to me.  I then started practicing it daily, starting from 1 minute and building up to my current limit of 5 minutes.  It has helped my waistline and as a result removed my mid section middle age spread or spare tyre after doing it for just 6 months.
