From high planks and low planks to side planks and plank jacks — plank variations aren’t hard to come by. We guess you could say that's what makes these OG bodyweight exercises (which can take true grit and determination to complete) so universally loved (or loathed!).
But no matter which type of plank you do, there’s no denying that the humble bodyweight move — which involves holding yourself up in a straight line from your head to your heels, without any arching in the lower back or lifting of the hips — can supercharge your fitness like no other.
