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!

Try it out and let me know what you think! As always, you can add or subtract rounds based on time and skill level. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send them my way!
