There's no single answer to how many planks a day is enough. The ideal number depends on your fitness goals, experience level, and overall training program.
Factors to Consider:
- Fitness Goals: Are you aiming for strength, endurance, hypertrophy, or a combination of these?
- Experience Level: Beginners should start with a lower volume and gradually increase it.
- Training Program: Your training program will dictate the number of planks you should be doing per day.
- Muscle Fatigue: Listen to your body and stop if you experience excessive fatigue or pain.
Example:
- Beginner: 2-3 sets of 30-second planks, 2-3 times per week.
- Intermediate: 3-4 sets of 45-60 second planks, 3-4 times per week.
- Advanced: 4-5 sets of 60-90 second planks, 4-5 times per week.
Remember:
- Consistency is key.
- It's better to start slowly and gradually increase the duration and frequency of your planks.
- Focus on proper form and technique to avoid injuries.
