Just Plank & Run

Yesterday, I wasn't sure if I would have time for the gym so I did a plank workout. My triceps are sooooo sore, isn't that the best feeling?!

Hold plank for as long as possible, I did 60 seconds
10 push-ups
Hold forearm plank for the same time, again, I did 60 seconds
10 push-ups
Downdog, then max time plank again
10 push-ups
Downdog
Max forearm plank
10 push-ups
THEN...reverse plank, so your facing the ceiling and not the floor...again, if only I came up with this when my hubby is home to include a pic...
Hold that for your max
10 Reverse push-ups. So you are in that reverse plank, facing the ceiling, and slightly bend your elbows. Keep your arms close to your body and the bent elbows doesn't have to be much for effect. This is from my mom's pilates classes she taught. Such a great exercise for your chest and triceps!

Since I have tendinitis in my joints, that one is hard for me, so I do some abs right after to break up all of the pressure. Once I've done crunches, single-leg stretch or whatever, 
I repeat the reverse plank hold and reverse push-ups. Then back to abs of your choice!! 

I keep this going until my timer goes off at 20 minutes, or until my son wakes up! 
Luckily for me, he stayed asleep, my husband was working from home and I got to include a 15 min run on the tread!!
