KILLER PLANK CIRCUIT (FOR STRONG CORE)

hey yall if you’re looking to strengthen your core, try this KILLER plank circuit.

front plank: 45 seconds

backwards plank: 45 seconds

~rest 1 minute in between~

side plank (both sides: 45 seconds

repeat circuit TWICE

if 45 seconds is too hard try 20-30 seconds to start! this workout can help relieve back pain and increase the strength in your inner core so give it a try!! I like to do this 2-3 times a week after my workouts.

Incorporating a plank circuit into your fitness routine can be incredibly beneficial for core strength and stability. The plank is a versatile exercise that engages multiple muscle groups, including the abs, glutes, and shoulders. To get started, perform the front plank for 45 seconds, followed by the backwards plank for another 45 seconds. Make sure to rest for one minute between each exercise to allow your muscles to recover. After completing both planks, move on to the side plank on each side, also for 45 seconds each. This comprehensive circuit not only helps in building strength but also serves as an effective way to relieve back pain. If you’re new to planking or find 45 seconds challenging, adjust the duration to 20-30 seconds until you build your endurance. Aim to repeat the entire circuit twice for a complete workout. Many fitness enthusiasts recommend doing this circuit 2-3 times per week to see significant improvements in core strength and stability. Stay consistent, and you’ll soon feel the benefits in your daily activities and other workout routines.
