The waist is a very important part of the human body, and human activities also require the support of waist strength, so we need to exercise our waist every day. We all know that plank support is a core strength exercise that can effectively exercise abdominal muscles. Some people also say that plank support is also considered a waist exercise and can exercise the waist muscles very well. So do you think plank support is a waist exercise? Let’s go take a look below!
Does plank support count as a waist exercise?
Plank support counts as a waist exercise. Standard plank support requires that the abdominal muscles remain tightened. In addition, the waist and back are also required to exert force to keep the waist and back straight without sagging the waist or raising the buttocks to ensure the standardization of the movements, so the waist muscles can also be exercised during the movements. Plank support actually has several postures such as prone, side lying, and reverse. If you simply do prone plank support, the effect of exercising your waist will be limited, but if you do these together, the effect will be very good.
What are the waist exercises?
The first action is leg bending exercise. Lie on your back on the yoga mat with your arms flat against the mat. Face, straighten your legs, bend your knees and lift them up at the same time, inhale to bring your thighs close to your abdomen; then exhale, and slowly return to the position.
The second action is air cycling. Lie on your back on the yoga mat and raise your legs to simulate pedaling a bicycle. Remember to straighten your toes.
The third action is the Russian twist. Keep your upper body straight, palms of your hands together, stretch forward, sit on the ground, lean back, and make an approximately 45° angle to the ground. Bend your knees, put the soles of your feet in the air, and rotate your upper body back and forth while keeping your lower body unaware.
FourthThe first action of five-point support is to lie on the mat, press your elbows and back against the bed, lift your abdomen and buttocks upward, and rely on the five points of your head, elbows and feet to support the weight of the entire body.
