It's said doing planks daily and increasing the hold time gradually helps one turn slimmer n fit. The core strength improves and overall health benefits. I did try once it did help but then lost the motivation mid way. Planning to restart again. Anyone tried or is currently doing?

Haven't really heard of that. But I do know that strengthening the core is good.

I have not tried doing planks. I used to do push ups and doing planks is somewhat similar. I think if one could do it, it would be good for stomach and over all strength of one's body.

@Funky2017 As you have reminded me about it, I would start it again. I left it due to one reason or the other. Mainly it is due to lack of time in mornings.

I haven't tried daily planks as an independent exercise. But we are holding planks with variations at the gym class and i've seen a great difference in strength overall.

I have heard of this too, like my friend from states fodoes this. And yeah, she looked more toned than before. I tried it, it looks simple but is very tiring i must say.
