Effectively Reduce Buncit Stomach, Do This Sports Before Sleep

JAKARTA - A distended stomach is one of the conditions that interferes with a person's appearance. Not only that, but a distended stomach can also trigger various serious diseases.

Therefore, distended stomach must be addressed immediately by doing various things such as eating healthy and exercise. One of the effective sports to reduce distended stomach is plank.

Plank is a sporting movement that involves holding the body's position in a straight line, from head to toe, based on the arms (can be lower arms or straight arms) and legs.

It's easy to do when and anywhere, it can even be done just before you sleep at night. Plank won't keep you moving for hours and doesn't need much movement, so it can be done before bed.

To do the plank, you only need about 60 seconds or a few minutes to hold on to your own weight, but very useful.

"Plank body load is a brilliant exercise to strengthen the stomach, oblic muscles, quadratus lumborum, lower back and buttocks," said physical therapist Sam Shaw, quoted from Men's Health, on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

In addition to reducing distended stomachs, plank is also recommended to be carried out because it has minimal risks and is very good for strengthening the body's core.

"This exercise is also an excellent minimal risk exercise to strengthen the body's core and help reduce injury in everyday life," he added.

However, even though plank can burn calories and effectively reduce distended stomachs, applying a healthy lifestyle is still needed. By adjusting a healthy diet and maintaining sleep quality, the results will be maximized.
