Planking

Outstretched on all toes and both elbows 
How long will the body remain suspended, only a man's will knows
Blood pressure and stress coming down 
In this ephemeral stillness, better health is found
With deep breaths in and long breaths out
Better posture and balance are achieved, no doubt 
Elevated focus, awareness, and a waistline that's shrinking 
Never mind the stoically static body that's away from the floor, just know the owner is planking
