When you're doing a plank, if you're doing it properly, you'll be working your core for about the first 10 seconds before other muscles kick in to help. If you only want to work core, hold for 10 seconds, rest for 3 and repeat!

Another great thing about planks? There are so many different variations to hit different muscles and keep you from getting bored! Here are 5 plank versions for you to try out:
- Straight Arm (or forearm!) Plank: Back to the basics!

image source - Mission Impossible Plank: Start in a regular plank and then move your arms and legs out - be sure to keep your back straight!
