Adapting the exercises to suit an individual’s present fitness level helps prevent unnecessary strain or potential injuries.

Planks and push-ups are two popular bodyweight exercises that mainly target the core muscle.

Both can be done nearly anywhere as neither do they require any equipment, or much space. But is one exercise better than the other when it comes to achieving your fitness goals?

when comparing plank with pushups, the former is easier for beginners. “This is because to perform pushups, you need to first get into a plank position. Moreover, pushups can be difficult as they involve balancing your body weight on your arms and moving up and down. This requires exceptional arm and shoulder strength which can only be acquired by continuous exercise. So, beginners should go for planks first and gradually progress towards pushups or half-pushups,”
