Hi Everyone!

It’s workout time!

Today’s workout is focused on the core. It’s a challenging Plank Workout. If the variations of this workout are to intense you can try my 4-Minute Plank Workout.

In the video I did 30-seconds of plank for each pose. If you want a more intense workout you can extend the intervals to 60-seconds per pose. You also have the option of repeating this workout.

The variations I used in this workout will target your core from every angle: front, sides and back. As always, focus on using the correct form. I also included a cardio video below as an optional bonus burn. If you want to see more definition through your mid-section you need to combine strengthening with fat burning.

I paired the Extended Plank Workout with a 5-Mile Run outside. I enjoy combining core and cardio for maximum results. Have fun with today’s workout!

    This is not easy at all. Got difficulties with the star side plank and the reverse plank lift – gotta work on that! Also, thanks for the suggestion of modifications for wrist pain.
