5. Increases Metabolism Boost
Planking can burn more calories every day compared to other abdominal exercises such as crunches, sit-ups, etc. It makes sure to strengthen your muscles so that you burn energy even when you are stationary. It is definitely helpful if you spend the majority part of your day sitting at a desk. A daily plank workout of around 10 minutes will ensure that you enhance your metabolic rate and also make sure that it remains high throughout the day even if you are asleep.
