The Copenhagen Plank is a type of exercise that targets the core muscles of the body, specifically the obliques, abs, and lower back. It is a variation of the traditional plank exercise and involves holding a plank position while lifting one leg and placing it on an elevated surface, such as a bench or box. This added movement increases the challenge to the core muscles and improves strength and stability.
The Copenhagen Plank is named after the city of Copenhagen in Denmark, where it was popularized by a physical therapist, Dr. Eric Kristensen. Exercise has gained popularity in recent years as a highly effective way to strengthen the core and improve overall athletic performance.
