Benefits of Plank Exercises
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Improves Mood
Our overall mental health is largely affected by our physical well-being. The muscle groups that plank exercises work on are prone to becoming tense, and this tension can contribute to anxiety. Plank exercises can help to relieve this tension in our muscles, and this can help to improve our mood overall.
In addition, exercise in general helps to release endorphins. These are “happy” hormones and having them released into our bodies will help to make us feel better about ourselves. In addition, plank exercises will help to encourage overall fitness, and this will also likely improve our mood considerably overall.
