10 MINUTE PLANK WORKOUT
Before we get into the 10 minute plank workout, I’d like to welcome you to the first workout of my “Travel Around The World Workout” Series: Los Core Angeles 10 Minute Workout. A fun and effective workout designed to train your ab and arm muscles in only 10 minutes!
TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD WORKOUT SERIES
In this FUN workout series we will be”traveling” around the world virtually while completing a variety of workout routines and challenges, each inspired by different locations (a city, state, country) in the world. The location and goal will certainly vary for every routine. So, every workout routine or challenge in this series has been designed to target either a specific muscle or a group of muscles in your body.
Exercise demonstration
To ensure that you follow each workout routine properly and effectively, every single exercise will be demonstrated through a drawing/gif/clip made and provided by the owner of this blog and for this blog only. The demonstration of every exercise will facilitate your ability of following every exercise, whether you have any familiarity with the exercise or not.
What’s included in each workout routine?
- Name of exercise(s)
- Time every exercise should be completed for – both regular & modified versions.
- Proper exercise demonstration.
- Progress bar – to help you track your progress.
- A free workout routine printable.
“LOS CORE ANGELES” – PLANK WORKOUT
The first stop we are making in this fun workout series is in no other than the beautiful Los Angeles, a city that I am insanely obsessed with. I don’t know about you, but when I think about LA, I think about beautiful weather, beaches, surfing and ABS.
Therefore, we can’t virtually visit LA without working on our abs. So, in this workout we will be targeting our CORE muscles through the use of different PLANK variations. We’ll also be targetting our arms muscles! So, consider this an abs and arms workout. Win-win!
This 10 minute plank workout is perfect for you because you:
- Can do this workout at the comfort of your home.
- Only need 10 Minutes.
- Can train both abs and arms in one workout.
- Don’t need any equipment to complete this workout.
- Can try so many fun plank variations.
- Can do the regular version or beginner friendly version!
