Hey, hey, get healthy, you TV squad. I'm trainer Sam. Cam and I'm coming at you with the 10 minute plank challenge. If you are looking for just 10 minutes of extra court with a little bit of shoulders and we're really going to focus on the court being in a plank the majority of the time. So it risks like it's not friendly. I'll give you some other options, but we are going to be in a plank position. We're going to switch it up. We're going to use the obliques, all that kind of stuff, but it's 10 minutes, of course. So let's get right on in the squad down. Got a quick, nice little warm up right here just to get the body ready to work again. If this is only 10 minutes that you have today, please just go ahead and crush it right. If you're looking for 10 extra minutes, we're gonna squat and reset arm back, squat, reset arm back, you're just waking up the shoulders. But again, if you have maybe 10 extra minutes after your workout and you just wanna do some core, this is it right here. Good. Last two and one. Give yourself a nice big hug. Let it go. Flap your wings a couple of times because believe it or not, it's a lot of core when you're in plank, but both shoulders, man are going to feel it. All right. Good squeeze. That's the last one. Let's get right into our 10 minute plank challenge. Our first move right here is we're gonna start in a plank on top of right. You're going to tap your right shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder and then you're gonna jump your feet out and in two times. So that's gonna be the first move. We got about 50 seconds. We got 10 minutes to 10 seconds to transition into the next move. 10 moves and then we'll get you out of here. We're not going to repeat. Here we go. So that first one, you're starting in a plank in three, two and one. Let's go. You tap right, you tap left two jacks out and in with your feet right there. Good squeeze. Squeeze jack your feet out and in two times. So the heart rate's gonna come up a little bit. Those shoulders are gonna feel it right there. Option. Knees right there and then maybe you just pop to your toes and you come back down, you shoulder tap, you shoulder tap, maybe you find your knees and you come back down right there. Good. Squeeze. Another option is you tap your shoulders and then you just tap right tap left. If you want to keep it low impact, that is an awesome way to do it right there. You've got about 20 seconds left in this first move and then I'm gonna let you press back for about 10 seconds before we come back into that plank. We right there. Five more seconds. Give me one more rep. Yes, you can. You're going to press the back 32 and one while you press back. I'm gonna show you the next move. You're in a plank move. You're going to reach right, playing it down, left down here we go in Let's go reach plank, reach right and left. So your back extensors are firing up right here. I want you to try to keep your shoulders facing the floor as well as those hips right here. So another option, knees down, reach and reach your hips are gonna want to sway from side to side. But what I want you to do is keep those hips nice and still in the center. So maybe you take a wider base, those feet go a little wider for more support. If you want to make it a little bit more challenging. Walk those feet back in Hoy bananas. You got 10 more seconds. We're going to go on to our sides for a side plank giving one shoulder a little break. 321, I'm going to come right here. Take 10 seconds. It's a side plank hit dip. We're going to lift our hips and lower in 321. Find that side plank. You lower, you left, you lower, you lift. So option one, both feet stacked, that's gonna be your hardest. Option. Option two, top leg goes forward for a little extra support right there. You're lowering your hip to the floor and you're lifting it up to the sky. Option three, bottom knee comes down, you lower, you lift, you can extend that top leg if that feels a little bit better. And you're on that knee right there. Lowering and lifting that side body from the side. You're squeezing right there. Can you find it? Holy shoulders. 10, we lift a little higher squeeze. You got under 10. Come on, you're gonna transition to the other side to hit that other oblique 32 and one. I'm gonna do a nice little butt spin so that you can still see me. We're going to the other side. Maybe you just flip on over. We start in three 21. Lift up tall first now, lower and lift lower lift. You got it flowing. Controlled is the way to go. So I want to actually feel that side body lifting up and away from the floor. Remember your options for your feet, you can stack, you can put that top leg over, squeeze those inner thighs. Bottom knee comes to the mat for a little bit more support. You're on that forearm, shoulder right on top of your wrist, you've got about 20 seconds left. Come on, squeeze, lift.
