This is isometric holds in the plank position. Just to be clear, isometrics is contractions of a muscle or group of muscles without visible movement. The muscles neither shortens nor lengthens, it stays in balance! That is why in these exercises you have to contract your core or you wont be getting the benefits of these exercises! When you tighten your core, you engage not just your abs, but your transverse abdominus!

Exercises:
Plank Leg Lift (left side) 30seconds
Plank Leg Lift (right side) 30 seconds
Plank X Lifts (left side) 30 seconds
Plank X Lifts (right side) 30 seconds
Forearm Side Plank (alternating) Call out move
Forearm Plank Crunch (modify with high plank) 60 Second Interval

As I stated in the video, if you can brag about how long you can hold planks, then you are NOT challenging your body enough and you should be implementing all of these plank variations the next time you work Core!

Anytime you involve imbalances, it is stabilizing your whole core so you don't necessarily have to use a stability ball to be considered stability training, bodyweight stabilization exercises are extremely challenging! Can you hold plank for 10 minutes? Great, try lifting one leg and one arm off the floor, and see how long you can last!

With that said, are you taking on the core challenge to try out these stabilization exercises? Holding planks will kill your gains if you are not varying them! General Adaptation Syndrome, your body gets used to the moves!
