Slim as a Plank

Start adding in the following planks to your routine to slim your mid-section a couple times a week. You will start noticing a difference in just a few weeks.

Beginners~ Start with the modified plank. Attempt to hold the plank for 3x15 secs. If that is too easy or becomes too easy, then increase the time in increments of 15 seconds until you are able to hold it for 3x1 min.

Intermediate~ Begin with the full plank,  holding it for 30 seconds. When you can do 3x30 seconds comfortably, begin to increase your time under stress by 15 seconds, until you can do 3 sets of 1 min plank.

 Advanced~ Begin by holding plank for 1 min. After you can do 3x1 min comfortably, increase your time under stress by 15 seconds until you are able to do 3x2 min.


All of the previous guidelines can be applied to doing side plank as well. Below you will see videos for a modified side plank and a full side plank.
