10 Minute Plank Summer Workout Challenge

Planks are one of the best exercises ever to tone the body quickly. Planks work the entire core (abs, quads, glutes, back) and shoulders.

Rumor has it that VS Angels plank for at least 10 minutes a day. Knowing that, I have no reason not to incorporate that into my daily workout. Perhaps one rest day. No matter how great of shape you are in, anyone could benefit from a plank challenge during summer time!

Try this 10 minute plank workout and don’t be disappointed! You will quickly whittle away your waist and build strength fast. Don’t be discouraged if you have to start with doing each exercise :15 or :30 before working up to the full :60.

Plank Workout Moves Breakdown:

Standard Plank:
Keep your abs in and your head and neck neutral to create a solid straight line from your head to your feet. Be sure to keep that booty down, or you’re cheating!

Plank Jack:
Start in standard plank and jump both feet further apart and then back in. Repeat.

Plank Balance:
Plank from your hands. Reach out your right hand and your left foot and balance. Bring your opposite elbow and knee together, hold and release. Repeat on other side.

Mountain Climbers:
Assume plank position on your elbows. Bring your right knee straight forward, then replace, then your left knee, then replace. Go as fast as you can. Get that heart rate up!

Side Plank Rotators:
Get into side plank. You can do this from your feet or your knees. Raise your hand and rotate inward.
