Forget crunches — you just need this four move workout to build a stronger core and sculpt your abs

A photo of a woman with defined abs.

Standard planks are great for building strength in your core but let's be honest, they can also be pretty boring — remaining in the same painful position for as long as you can hold it. How about if we told you, you can freshen things up and fire up your abs while trying some variations of the plank in the form of a four move workout?

We have a list of the best plank variations on the site, but it would be pretty damn demanding to complete all 19 exercises in one session. This is why we love this four move routine that online trainer Cindy Yu has put together. Creating the ultimate core burning session, Yu has combined, plank leg crossovers, plank reaches, plank knee tap tricep presses and plank pikes into one workout.
