Lie on your right side. Lie in straight position from hips to feet. Elbow of the right arm should be under your shoulder. Make sure your head must be in straight position along with your spine.

Initially do 30 seconds plank in sets of three daily. After becoming used to, do one-minute plank in three sets daily. That is enough and you will be surprised to see the results.
