Generally, it means a wooden log but in terms of fitness, a plank is the parallel position of our body which we try to keep stationary against the gravitational force of the ground with help of our hands and legs.
Is it difficult to do?
Yes, it’s not that simple as it seems like just holding yourself above the ground with hands and legs. You thought you can do it pretty simple, yes you can do it but time plays important role in this.
As you go longer than a minute you will start feeling difficulty in maintaining a stable position and as time extends your body starts shivering and struggling to do so.
