what muscles in activated during plank
The side plank primarily works muscles in your core. It strengthens abdominal and back muscles, particularly the transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, obliques and quadratus lumborum.It also targets the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus in the hips, as well as the adductor muscles located in the inner thigh.asier Version. If you are not quite able to perform a side plank on the elbow with good form, you can modify the exercise to strengthen many of the same muscles. Instead of extending your legs, bend your knees so your forearm and the side of one knee support your body weight.
