4. Movement:

- Hold the plank position, maintaining tension in your core and straight alignment from your head to your knees.
- Feel the contraction in your core, shoulders, and arms.

- Aim to hold this position for 15 to 30 seconds, depending on your fitness level.
- Breathe steadily and focus on maintaining a straight line in your body.
