Doctor warns about health risks of doing planks
The plank is a popular exercise often performed by those trying to lead a healthy lifestyle.
But this activity is not useful for everyone.
Osteopath Vladimir Zhivotov spoke about this in more detail on the air of “ Moscow Speaks ”.
The specialist noted in a conversation with journalists that only those men and women who are completely healthy can perform the plank.
He explained that such an exercise contributes to the prolapse of internal organs and provokes an increase in blood pressure.
Osteopath Zhivotov also noted during the interview that women who often do the plank begin to have their stomachs sticking out rather than “deflate.”
The doctor noted that it is better to perform the side plank, since it is safer.
In addition, he emphasized that the feet should be pressed against the support.
It is also important to soberly measure your efforts against your capabilities.
