If you think a minute goes by really fast, you’ve never done a plank! One of my fitness goals is to improve my upper body strength and work on abs! Planks and their variations are really good exercises to add into your daily routine moves while working out.
A new favorite of mine are the plank up downs. I recently took a class with trainer Savanna in Jacksonville. She’s super sweet and bubbly but also a workout beast!
Begin in a full plank. Lower your right elbow to the mat and then your left, coming into an elbow plank.
Put your right hand on the mat, and straighten your right elbow. Do the same on the left to return to a full plank.
She had us going up and down for an entire song! To say I was sore the next day was an understatement. Savanna also does a lot of booty band workouts, I’ll link some in a future post.
