This is a great challenge for yourself to test overall core (abdominals, lower back) as well as shoulder strength. It takes very little time to complete and you can progress as you get stronger by adding number of sets! It is a short workout BUT don’t be fooled by its simplicity to execute. It is a killer, especially when you push your limits by continually rotating through planks without breaking..
time to complete:
3-6 minutes depending on your chosen number of sets.
EQUIPMENT:
- Your BODY
- a mat
- a timer (like the gymboss)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Complete each plank for 30sec back to back
- Move directly from one plank to the next for the whole allotted time; meaning try to keep your knees off the ground throughout.
- Complete 2-4 sets of the rotation with no break between. (or minimal 10 sec at the end of 1 full set)
Plank set – 1 set = 90seconds
- Front forearm plank
- Left side forearm plank
- Right side forearm plank
This is a workout that was used in my morning bootcamp which runs every Monday Wednesday Friday at 6:45am in Leslieville in East Toronto. Everyday is a new full body workout. Join in on our bootcamp whenever you’d like! Click here for all further info
