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.
