To test and strengthen your balance, try a side plank with a leg raise â get into side plank position, then lift your top leg and hold for one count. Lower it and repeat, then switch sides. In addition, planks work all the muscles you need to maintain proper posture, like your back, chest, shoulders, abs, and neck.
Moving down your midsection, successful plank exercises actually develop the muscles in your butt! These muscles tend to be ignored by a lot of exercises, so this is another great benefit of plank exercises. In much the same way as you develop your biceps and arm muscles, holding the planking position helps develop the muscles in your thighs too.
