Many people visit TikTok to watch videos that will make them laugh or to see a new perspective on a topic. Another good use of TikTok is learning about different trends, including those that involve fitness. Believe it or not, some of these fitness trends can actually benefit your health.
TikTok users are doing their planks to music all while doing different moves like shoulder taps, raises, and even some dance moves. Planking works your body from head to toe, as long as you have the proper form, but you'll primarily feel it in your abs. Give this challenge a try and have fun with it all while seeing results.
There are many styles of yoga you can try once you are ready, like hot yoga, aerial yoga, and practices that focus specifically on breathing. The more you do yoga the more you'll see your balance and flexibility increase. Just take it slow at first, and don't try to force full extensions on poses like downward dog, crane, or bow, or you could hurt yourself.
