Why plank workout?
Planks are the most popular and effective fat burning exercise. They can be easily performed and activate all your muscles, including your core, shoulders, glutes, etc. Planks are the best choice for people with weak knees because they put no pressure on knees.

Maximize the belly fat burning: Planks are more effective than crunches at burning belly fat. Planks activate 100% of your abs, while crunches only involve 64% of them.

Strengthen your core: Plank workout fires up all your core muscle groups, enhances your core strength, and helps you get a strong core.

Reduce back pain: Plank workout can strengthen your back muscles, reduce back pain and lower the risk of back and spinal column injuries.

Improve your posture & balance: Plank workout requires your head, back and feet to be in a straight line. Regularly doing this will improve your balance and posture when sitting and standing.

Accelerate your metabolism: Doing planks keeps your metabolism high for the whole day; this dramatically boosts the fat burning process.

Improve your flexibility: Plank workout stretches all your posterior muscle groups, such as your shoulder blades, glutes and hamstrings, thus improving your flexibility and lowering the risk of injury.

Ratings and reviews

I like the app (after 2 days) But I am a beginner, doing the beginner challenge and the fact that there is no pause between the standing warm-ups and going into planks on the floor and again finishing Cobra stretches and expecting to stand up instantly and do the arm stretches is ridiculous. There should be a pause built in between standing and on the floor exercises. It certainly did no good to set my own resting length.

Free and fantastic! This app has easy to follow, quick and targeted workouts that help build strong workout habits. I love that you can progress through BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED versions of the workout. I plan to progress through them all. I also love that it allows you to pause and restart (because some times it's tough to find 5-8 min of truly down time) without loosing your progress. So far, this has been a fantastic home workout companion to strengthen my core.

Despite the ads that play after each workout, it's still a pretty good app. I was really impressed at first, but then on Day 14 the difficulty of the workouts jumped way up. It was hard for my motivation to go from "this is a challenge but I can do it" to "I canNOT keep up with this workout." I've had to modify every workout since then, and I'm not even close to keeping pace with the app. I don't understand, and I'm sad that I can't follow along with the challenge. I'm using the Beginner track.
