I love planks. But if you can hold the plank position for two minutes or more, you need to step it up a notch. Add some variations to the move. The possibilities are endless! Here’s one great example of a plank variation. Try at least 8-12 reps on each leg.
Add a plank, a one-legged squat, movement, and what do you get? A great core, quad, glute, and upper-body exercise that burns lots of calories, to boot. Bonus: No equipment needed! Plank variations are some of my favorite moves, working not only the core, but other major muscle groups. Incorporate more full-body exercises like this one into your workout for maximum efficiency and results. Can’t get enough? Browse my “videos” section for more. Remember to bend the knee as you lower to the ground. Perform 8-12 reps on each leg. Extra credit: Add a push-up at the bottom.
