10 minute plank workout for flat abs and a strong core

This 10 minute plank workout for flat abs is the best way to tone your abs and strengthen your core. The routine consists of three variations of the plank exercise:

1. Standard plank
2. Walk outs
3. Knee tucks

These three exercises should be completed three times for a full set.

For an added challenge you can use an optional foam roller. A roller will force your muscles to tense and work harder.

For a great plank workout for flat abs, I recommend that you start with the Standard Plank, then move onto the Walk Outs, and finish with the Knee Drives.

1. 15 seconds standard plank hold
2. 15 leg walkouts
3. 15 knee drives
4. Repeat 3 times

• Helps develop a flat stomach
• Great for improving core strength and stability
• Low impact
• Done in only 10 minutes
• Equipment optional
• Can be easily added to other workout routines
• Suitable for men or women

These three plank workouts will help flatten your abs and build muscle. They each target your core in different ways to increase overall stability and strength.

Standard plank

This may seem like a basic exercise, but it engages all your core muscles, including abs and obliques, which work together to help support your spine and pelvis.

Plank with walk outs

This engages the muscles in your core, back, and lower body. It also works your shoulders for additional upper body strengthening.

Plank with knee tucks

These work your abs, obliques, and core muscles in a more dynamic way. The exercise also engages your hip flexors.

I use a wide range of low impact workouts with my clients to help improve their core strength and define abs. This 10 minute plank workout for flat abs is my go to! All my PT sessions are tailored to your specific workout needs and fitness goals.
