I've been reading planks are better than crunches. I'm trying to slim down and tone up and my waist is a problem always. Should I do planks daily? I already established a good diet and have lost an inch in 2 weeks on my lower belly and 2 on my upper waist. I do abs about 3 times a week. I wonder if planks will help shed more inches and really tone them if I do it everyday or just incorporate into my an routine?
The extra weight we carry cannot be targeted so if your abs are hidden under a layer of fat than the plank (which is weight bearing) would probably produce faster visual results because they work a variety of muscles burning greater calories in total depending on reps and time held.
