I’m all in plank variations, because — and this is not to throw any degree of shade on a workout staple that can’t stand up for itself — the basic plank is, after a short time, a pretty boring move.
I’ve done a few variations as challenges for Tom’s Guide, including the three-legged plank, the x-plank and the side plank, the one most people move on to when they find the standard move has become a little monotonous (which usually happens on day two).
