La planche abdominale est un exercice efficace et facile à faire chez soi. Pour ce faire, il suffit de placer une grande serviette au sol et de se coucher à plat ventre. Placez-vous de façon semblable à une pompe, c'est-à-dire, les jambes droites, les pieds légèrement écartés, et appuyez-vous sur vos avant-bras plutôt que sur vos mains. Gardez cette position le plus longtemps possible, au moins 15 à 20 secondes, et répétez trois fois. Cet exercice raffermit les muscles qui supportent la colonne et les organes internes, soit les abdominaux, les obliques, les transversaux et les lombaires. 4, record 1, French, - planche%20abdominale

Le premier exercice est la planche abdominale. Réalisé en isométrie, c’est-à-dire en maintenant une position statique pour un temps donné, cet exercice permet le renforcement des muscles de la ceinture abdominale en plus d’aider au développement de l’endurance musculaire au niveau lombaire. 5, record 1, French, - planche%20abdominale
