First of all CONGRATULATIONS on sticking to this challenge for a whole week! Way to get started on a healthy new year. I hope you enjoyed your well deserved day of rest yesterday.
If you are just joining us, feel free to jump in with us here or go back to day 1 and work through the challenge at your own pace.
Today we go back to our basic plank, either on your elbows or in a fully extended push-up position based on your fitness level and comfort.
We’re looking at a total workout time of 5 minutes as we did in our first week but we are making our work interval slightly longer (10 seconds) to keep challenging you. So your intervals will be 30 second hold followed by a 10 second rest, back to a 30 second hold and so one for a total of 8 sets.
Remember to engage your core, squeeze your glutes, hamstrings and quads, and keep your elbows or wrist straight below your shoulders.
Give those abs a nice burn and have fun!
