The 5 Minute Plank For Core Strength, Stability, and Rock-Hard Abs

[Silverstarlightt]

I've done this several times, but my arms still feel like jello afterwards!

[JimboWizbo]

Anyone else find that the shoulders are a limiting factor? I manage 15seconds per hold but my arms feel the most worked afterwards

Hmm, just tried this for kicks n' giggles. Thought it was fairly easy compared to doing a "front elbow plank" for 5 minutes straight. I think the [short] "resting" periods between switching positions allows for this to be completed with ease. I'll try doing these holds for 30 seconds in a few minutes, see how that goes.

-- This just made plank holds fun. Lol

Just did this for the second time. I do it every other day. Thanks for this! It's really hard when you are balancing on left/right hand and left/right foot!

[sokseb]

great workout, I had to breathe like a dog during the one hand one foot plank.

[nylouie516]

awesome planks :) i have a question tho...Shouldn't the arms and legs always be in a straight line with the body? and on some of the side planks I just noticed the spine curving : S

[cchapan]

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing this John!

[WilliamTheSilverBack]

very good, but tilt your elbows forwards, i will put more tension on abs and back and less on front delts ;)

[GymnosEvolution]

Nice routine buddy! And lov'in the new training space :D

[27albrecht]

I do planks all the time, they're great. You should add the superman plank or the "dory" plank, they're great! The "dory" plank is where you lay on your back and keep your legs/shoulders off the floor and rock back & forth without letting them touch, it's hard as hell.

Great Idea! Good Execution! Great Video!
