In recent years, plank exercise (平板支撑) has become more and more popular. It's easy to find a proper place to do plank exercise. You can even do it with a chair! But you need to use a stable chair to make sure your safety. It is dangerous if the chair moves during exercise. Moreover, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.
Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate (速率) high all day long. Doing it regularly will make you burn lots of calories (卡路里). This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.
Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn't stand straight for more than ten seconds on one leg, right? It's because your muscles (肌肉) aren't strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand straight longer.
▲ Just think about it: You are sitting all day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in your body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.
Considering all the benefits of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?
