Another isometric exercise is good for improving core strength. It is done quite like a regular plank, but with one difference. In the exercise, you lift one of the legs parallelly to the ground. This increases the complexity of the exercise and improves core strength, unlike regular plank, with greater benefits for the abdomen. Step 1 – Put your elbows on the ground and move your body forward into a plank position. Lift one foot off the ground while remaining in this stance, then bring it back down and repeat with the other foot. Be sure to maintain a straight back and a tight core. As you lift your legs, keep your hips from rotating to either side. Repeat 10 times 3 sets in a row Once-daily 5 days a week
