Planking is one of my all-time favorite core exercises.

It’s a great way to strengthen all the layers of your abdominal muscles, but also keeps your back and hips in a safe, neutral position. This makes it effective and comfortable for most people.

One of the best ways to make planks more challenging (and therefore more effective) is by varying the type of plank that you’re doing. You can add movement to your arms, legs, and core to make holding the static plank more challenging.

That’s exactly what you’re getting with this workout!

In this workout we’ll be holding 8 different variations of a plank for 30 seconds each, and then repeat that twice.

We’ll not only work the front of your abs (the rectus abdominis), but the sides (obliques) and deep core (transverse abdominis) as well! That’s what makes this an incredible, total-core workout that you’re sure to feel in your tummy tomorrow morning!

WHAT IF I CAN’T DO THE WHOLE WORKOUT?
I’m not gonna lie - this workout is TOUGH. It’s quite a feat to be able to hold all of these for the full 8 minutes. If you can’t complete the whole workout today - that’s totally fine! Make a note of how long you made it, and then keep coming back and keep tying to improve on your time!

The important part is you give it your best effort and then continue to build upon that every single day.

HOW OFTEN CAN I DO THIS WORKOUT
Unlike other muscles in your body, your abs/core is super resilient. Your core muscles don’t need the same amount of rest and recovery after a workout that other muscle groups do, and therefore most people are safe to exercise them everyday.

Most people are safe to do this workout everyday, but please listen to your body and pay attention to what it’s telling you. You may need to work in some rest days until your core is strong enough to handle this workout everyday.

That being said, let’s get started. Good luck with the workout!
