You may think that the core muscles are only the ones in your
stomach. In fact, the core is made up of all the muscles that connect
the upper and lower body, including those of the stomach, lower back,
hips and buttocks.
These muscles are essential for supporting the spine, aiding good posture, and almost every movement. By strengthening core muscles you will not only be on a fast track to a flatter stomach but will also improve the effectiveness of any exercise you do.
The plank is one of the best exercises because it tightens the deepest core muscles. It's a static exercise where you use your arms to raise yourself off the floor and hold the whole body straight and rigid, like a plank of wood.
You can do it anywhere, you don't need any equipment and it only takes a minute (literally). What's more, it is more effective than sit-ups and crunches because these work only the superficial abdominal muscles.
Below are three different plank positions that target different core muscles. The longer you can hold a plank, the stronger your core will become and you will quickly see an improvement.
Do not attempt the plank if you have suffered any lower back problems.

I bet you can't guess what muscle in your body is the muscle that gets rid of joint and back pains, anxiety and burns fat.
