THEN TRY THE 30-DAY PLANK CHALLENGE FOR FREE!

Improving your body with the plank is the most effective exercise.
It's an exercise that uses body weight and works the core and abdominal muscles, among other parts of the body.
What does this mean? With this single exercise you can work the muscle box ranging from the diaphragm of the body, rectus abdominal, obliques and transverse, gluteus, paravertebral, pelvic floor musculature and hip. Plus you will sharpen your mental toughness by doing it.

This movement challenges the entire body and burns more calories than a traditional exercise routine.
It's also much easier on the back and can help prevent injury.

Complete the 30 day plank program! The challenge starts with 20 seconds and then you increase the time each day individually with the help of the app.

IN A MONTH YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD 4 MINUTES!

You can also perform individual programs by setting the time of the planks yourself. The App will alert you with a GONG when you have to start and stop the exercise, even if you are listening to your favorite playlist. The volume of the GONG can be customized in settings.

If you have problems with the PLANK BUDDY application or have suggestions for improvement,
we would love to hear from you!
