A member asked:
I do the standard plank exercise, i am 6'3 around 140lbs, would doing the plank everyday be overtraining or would this be beneficial and advisable?

Probably: Unlikely to result in overtraining issues, as though who regularly practice Yoga, do planks frequently without issue. Though also realize, it's not necessary to do core exercises every day.
