8 Excellent Core Workouts You Can Do at Home

7 – All the Planks

For Max Effort:

• 15 Second Plank Shoulder Taps
• 15 Second Rest
• 30 Second Plank Around the World
• 30 Second Rest
• 45 Second Plank Walk Outs
• 45 Second Rest
• 1 Minute Plank
• 1 Minute Rest
• Max Effort Plank
• 1 Minute Rest
• Max Effort Plank

Increase the time you hold your planks with every round until you reach round 5, where you’ll hold a classic plank for as long as possible. When you can’t hold the position anymore rest one minute and try again.

The score is the longest time you held the plank for.

The plank around the world is a harder variation of the plank, as it requires athletes to balance on three out of our four limbs – it’s all core. Prevent your hips from wobbling and keep a strong midline.

The plank walkouts will improve your core strength and stabilise while you’re moving. It simply requires athletes to walk their hands forward from a plank position. The further the hands go the harder the movement becomes.

Feel free to exchange the planks for side planks or plank step ups. You can add rounds to this workout as well as you progress.
