Do you like exercise? Do you know
something about plank(平板支撑) exercise?
Plank exercise has become more and more
popular in recent years. It requires little time.
It's easy to do. What's more, 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 high all day long.
Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn
lots of calories. 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, right? It's not because you are drunk,
of course. Instead, 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 with straight posture(姿势)
at all times.
Just think about it: You are
sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all
day long. Your muscles get tired, and your legs
get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle
groups that may cause stress in the body. As a
result, it can have a powerful and positive effect
on our mood.
Considering all the benefits(益处) of plank
exercise, will you make it part of your everyday
life?
