30 day plank challenge

30 day plank challenge – day 27

Join us for day 27 of our 30-day plank challenge with personal trainer and creator of the Healthista Fit Hiit app, Kelly Du Buisson. A five-minute video every day of August, the most simple way to keep trim this summer

Welcome to the Healthista 30 day plank challenge, where for the next month personal trainer Kelly Du Buisson will take you through a five-minute workout with three variations of the plank. You can find day one here. Following the new plank workout, we will be posting daily with the 30-day smoothie challenge with nutritionist Rick Hay, you will be set for a healthy August.

‘The plank challenge aims to wake up the entire core area including the rectus abdominals, the TVA, internal and external obliques and the gluteus’, says Kelly. ‘The aim is to improve posture and strength which will improve your everyday lifestyle and increase stamina and endurance in sport. If you’ve never done planks before hopefully you’ll burn calories and create some lean muscle. If you’re a plank expert this will help you find new ways to test your body.’ The best thing about the plank is you need no equipment at all and it can be done anywhere.

For the 30-day plank challenge day 27:

Today Kelly starts off with a half burpee and plank. Jump in, keep your chest up and then hold.

Next comes the plank lunge glute lift – this will really work those booty muscles. Make sure you’re really squeezing as you bring your leg up.

Then Kelly moves into reverse plank leg lifts. Bring the knees in and out, this will really generate some heat.

Repeat all of this three times.

Check back every day on the website or Healthista YouTube channel to get your daily planking workout, alongside hundreds of other workout videos. Tag us in your efforts on InstagramFacebook or Twitter. See you tomorrow!
