If you've ever planked, you know the feeling: seconds turn into minutes, your body shakes, muscles burn – and your mind counts every moment. Planking is one of the most effective yet demanding core exercises. But what if there was a mental trick to last longer? That's exactly where Plankpad comes in.
Mental Distraction as a Performance Booster
We often think of concentration as a purely mental process – but the body and mind are more closely connected than you think. As we focus, levels of adrenaline and dopamine rise. These stress hormones boost alertness and increase muscle tone.
At the same time, our brain follows the principle of attention redirection: when your focus is on something engaging, your perception of strain fades into the background. This is where Plankpad training truly shines.
Gamification Meets Core Control
The Plankpad app offers interactive games controlled through bodyweight shifts. Your mind is occupied, your ambition sparked, and the fun factor high. The result? You hold the plank longer.
Studies show: mental distraction reduces the perception of effort – even when physical performance remains the same.In practice, this means Plankpad users hold planks longer, train more intensely, and feel less strain. The app becomes a real performance booster.
Small Games, Big Impact
- Motivation through variety: Each game offers new challenges
- Distraction reduces discomfort: Game goals outweigh muscle fatigue
- Training without boredom: Time flies by
Conclusion: Train With Your Brain
Distraction isn’t weakness – it’s a smart tool for better results. Plankpad combines neuroscience with effective training to turn planking into a fun, measurable success.
Try it yourself – and discover how much longer you can really hold!
