Get ABS this 10 min for a Flat Stomach

Planks have been around forever. They are a full body exercise that uses your own body weight and gravity for resistance. Planks are the most popular exercise among people who want to strengthen their core, make their abs flatter, lose stomach fat,  and make their arms and shoulders stronger and more defined. Before you can plank your way to physical perfection, however, you must start somewhere.

The following is a list of plank variations starting with beginner level variations and progressing through intermediate and finally advanced plank poses. Every athlete that has mastered planking had to start somewhere, so if you’re ready, let’s do this!

2. The roll 

Lay down on your back with your legs pointed up and hands down your sides. Now, start lowering your legs down to the ground without touching it. Bring the knees back to your chest and repeat the process once again. Hold the position for 30 seconds when your legs are down. This exercise will reinforce your lower abs.
