1. planking

   Planking is an exercise routine that involves maintaining a position similar to a push-up for the maximum possible time. It is a strength-training exercise that engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously. However, the term "planking" also refers to a trend where people lie face down with their arms to their sides in unusual public spaces, keeping their body straight like a plank and photographically documenting it, often on social media. This practice originated in the late 2000s and is considered a type of Internet meme or viral challenge.
