Plank-Based Cardio Workout

There is no denying that planks might be one of the best overall body toning exercises! Using different variations, it will literally hit every muscle group and as a bonus, gives an extra punch to those core muscles! This is a plank-based cardio routine that will help strengthen all muscle groups, while getting that heart-rate up to burn calories with some cardio moves.

I try and do each plank for 1 minute and cardio exercises for 30 sec.

The Moves:

Low Plank



Reverse Plank with a Leg Lift




High Knees


Butt Kicks



Side Plank with Crunch Right
Side Plank with Crunch Left



High Plank Jacks


Low Plank Jacks



Single Leg Hop





Skaters




Alternating Plank Oblique Twist




Table Top Lift



Reverse Table Top with Right Leg Crunch
Reverse Table Top with Left Leg Crunch

 (couldn't find a picture, but  reverse the table top and bring your right elbow in to your left knee, then left elbow in to your right knee)

Jumping Jacks



Mountain Climbers


 Alternating Plank Donkey Kicks




Up and Down Plank

Burpees

Push-Ups



Low Plank
