Overview: A tabata is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times. This tabata is all about planks for strengthen the core.  There are 8 exercise in each tabata. So do each one for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest in between. For beginners - Perform planks on elbows and with knees down. Be sure the butt isn’t up creating a table with the body. But rather, the line from head to knees is a straight decline. For intermediate - Perform  planks on elbow with toes on the ground. For Advance - Perform planks with palms and toes on the ground (full plank).

For an added challenge: 1. Hold plank during the 10 second rest times rather than taking a break.  2. Repeat each set at least 1 time after a short rest. 3. Increase the work time 30, 45, or 60 seconds.

Timer: 20 sec work/10 sec rest x8 for each Set
