Shape: expert Olson called the plank the most effective exercise for the press
Örebro University expert (Sweden) Martin Eriksson-Krommert and Huntington College professor (USA) Michelle Olson called the plank and crunches the most effective and versatile abdominal exercises. Their words leads Shape.
“Crunches engage the superficial abdominal muscles, which have fibers that are oriented vertically, allowing them to synchronize their work during the exercise,” Eriksson-Krommert explained. He added that the greatest activation of the rectus abdominis muscle is achieved if, during the crunch, the hands are held behind the head, and not on the chest or extended in front of you.
“Some variations of the exercises, such as the dynamic side plank with a twist and the spider plank, which require firm stabilization of the core, actively engage the transverse abdominal muscles,” Olson said.
