February Pucker Up Plank Challenge

Maybeeeee you are like us and don't really care about Valentine's Day but still want to be a little bit festive...or maybe you are all about Valentine's Day. Either way, it doesn't really matter because we could ALL benefit from a stronger core! And that is exactly what this challenge is designed to do: strengthen your core! It was also designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12-week workout plans for all fitness levels! Unless you are a total beginner, doing this core workout each day is not a long enough workout for you!

Want to pair this fitness challenge with our finance challenge this month? Get started today!

We are introducing different variations of planks with this 28-Day Plank Challenge. Some you may have heard of before and some you might be scratching your head at. Never fear, we are here to help!

Learn how to do all of these planks plus a few more in this post on how to whittle your waist with 5 different planks!

The picture below shows how to do a regular plank. Keep a straight line from the top of your head to your heels. Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows. Hold your abs in. You can read the other descriptions here.

If you are advanced and this is too easy for you, you can double or triple each day. If this is too difficult, cut the time and/or reps down and work your way up. This challenge is totally customizable based on your fitness level.

We're also including the challenge below if you would rather do the planks listed each day! Your challenge, your decision! :)

A strong core is essential to help prevent injuries, it's not all about having a six pack. 

• Regular Plank (as you can see in the picture above): Keep a straight line from the top of your head to your heels. Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows. Hold your abs in.
• Mountain Climbers: Get into plank position but on your hands. Drive one of your knees up to your chest and then return back to starting position. Do the same thing on the other side. Once you get the movement down, speed up so that you are essentially "sprinting" in this position while driving your knees to your chest. Keep your upper body stable and strong.

This fitness challenge is to strengthen your core with different variations of planks.

The picture below shows how to do a regular plank. Keep a straight line from the top of your head to your heels. Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows. Hold your abs in.

For side planks, you will literally just be on your side so you can have your hand on the ground or your forearm. Stack your feet and hold your arms in. You can place your knee down if needed.

Mountain climbers are more of a cardio move but they definitely work your core. Get into plank position but on your hands. Drive one of your knees up to your chest and then return back to starting position. Do the same thing on the other side. Once you get the movement down, speed up so that you are essentially "sprinting" in this position while driving your knees to your chest. Keep your upper body stable and strong.

If you are advanced and this is too easy for you, you can double or triple each day. If this is too difficult, cut the time and/or reps down and work your way up. This challenge is totally customizable based on your fitness level.
