This is the "exercise" part. Your really don't realize how much effort it takes to hold a position until after you've had to hold it for a minute or two. It's my favorite form of exercise. It's not an endorphin rush, per se, but more of an endorphin creep. Also, in my experience, The endorphin high seems to last longer than a high intensity workout. To me, it's just as good, except, different.
Exactly. Even a basic front plank hold for 60 seconds will be excruciatingly difficult for an untrained person. (and exceedingly satisfying when you are able to do longer and longer periods as you train.)
