haha so since you meant planks the same thing is true
while in a plank you should be tightening your abs and trying to keep hollow, and you MUST squeeze your glutes to hold that hollow position, many people do not understand this and think that planks are easy but once you get the whole body involved by keeping the glutes tight it becomes a completely different exercise
Start with 20-30 seconds and work up to 1 min
also do side planks with pushing up through your shoulder and keeping your glutes tight....all of these will help with that core
