Complete this circuit 4 times, resting only for 1 minute between each round.
30 second elbow plank
25 plank shoulder taps
20 second elbow plank
15 plank kick-through
10 second elbow plank
5 plank knee taps
What is…
Plank shoulder tap: straight arm plank position. alternate tapping each shoulder. right arm to left shoulder, left arm to right shoulder. keep core as still as possible. 25 taps on each side.
Plank kick-through: straight arm plank position. alternate kicking leg underneath body to opposite side while keeping leg as straight as possible (there will be some leg bend). keep core as still as possible. 15 kicks with each leg.
Plank knee tap: straight arm plank position, alternate tapping each knee. right arm to left knee, left arm to right knee. bring feet off floor and hand/knee meet in center of body. keep core as still as possible. 5 taps on each knee.
No stopwatch? No problem! Simply count at a nice slow pace to the desired second count for the elbow planks. The shoulder taps, kick-through, knee taps will be performed from the straight arm position. The goal is to transition from each movement without bringing your knees to the floor. If your arms get too tired bring your knees to the floor for a quick reset, but then get right back to it. Yep you guessed it, this is going to have your arms on fire too!
