Warm up for five to 10 minutes by doing dynamic stretches – lunges with rotation, plus arm and leg swings – to loosen and activate muscles. Then start a one-minute timer and do as many reps of the first move as you can in that time. Record your score when done (on paper or into your phone) and start the timer again for one minute of active recovery: Jog in place, jump rope, or ride a stationary bike. Repeat this process until you have completed all 10 moves. Finish with a five- to 10-minute cool-down of static stretching. Save your score and retest yourself with this same process one week later to see how much you’ve improved.

When you just hover in a plank, you work muscles isometrically (meaning the contraction is static). But you can make the move dynamic by working through a bigger range of motion to tone many additional muscles (like your shoulders, arms, chest, abs, butt, legs and more). US-based trainer Nora Tobin suggests these variations.
