Let's Go!
Hey guys, Here are my essential tips for mastering these exercises.
- Hold a standard plank position for 15 seconds, ensuring your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Engage your core, tighten your glutes, and keep your elbows directly beneath your shoulders for optimal stability.
15 reps – Plank Walkouts
- Perform 15 semi-circles by alternating between your left and right leg. Balance on one leg while extending the other leg outward in a sweeping motion to create a semi-circle, engaging your core for balance.
- Switch legs after each rep to challenge your stability.
15 reps – Plank knee tucks
- Complete 15 knee-to-chest movements by starting in a plank position and drawing one knee toward your chest, then returning to the starting position.
- Alternate legs for each rep, engaging your core and maintaining proper form to maximise effectiveness.
Take the time to extend your stretch holds to deepen your flexibility and effectively release muscle tension. Holding each stretch for a longer duration can enhance your range of motion and contribute to overall muscle recovery.

The standard plank is a fundamental exercise that engages all core muscles, including your abs and obliques. It helps support your spine and pelvis, providing a strong foundation for core stability.
How does the plank with walk outs benefit my workout?
The plank with walk outs not only targets your core but also engages your back and lower body muscles. This variation adds an upper body workout by strengthening your shoulders, making it a well-rounded exercise.
What are plank with knee tucks?
Plank with knee tucks is a dynamic variation that engages your abs, obliques, and core muscles. It also activates your hip flexors, providing a comprehensive workout for your entire core.
How often should I incorporate planks into my routine for best results?
For optimal results, aim to incorporate plank workouts into your fitness routine 2-3 times per week. This frequency allows your muscles to recover while still promoting strength and stability.
