The plank exercise works the entire core, including the abdominal muscles that run from the pelvis along the spine and up to the shoulder girdle. Muscles worked during planks include: Rectus abdominis, or top layer of core muscles at front of the pelvis ...
AWAYfrom the insertion. This occurs as a result of a much more specific pattern of muscle imbalance, whereby gluteus medius on the stance leg, and a combination ofquadratus lumborumandexternal obliquemuscles on the non-weight bearing side of the torso, fail to fix the pelvis relative to the ...
