Often called Phalakasana, the Plank Pose has fully extended arms as opposed to the Low Plank, Chaturanga Dandasana, and will strengthen your core and arms quickly. Holding them for extended periods will build endurance and stamina. Find a Plank variation that suits your current level and start from there. Try to start with 5, maybe even 1 then gradually increase. This looks simple but it’s not! However it is very effective in toning a number of muscles, including hips, waist, abdomen, arms and shoulders. Practice this yoga pose every day if you want to develop toned abs.
