3 Common Plank Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

Core strength and fitness are important to the body’s overall health. In recent years, the plank has gained popularity as part of a workout regimen. While the held position of a plank can produce excellent results, there are three ways that can hinder fitness goals:
1) Arching the back
2) Lowering the hips
