Plank’d

About This Class

This 31-minute dynamic flow is unapologetically plank-centric, cycling through standard plank, one-legged plank, side plank, forearm plank, side forearm plank, and bent-elbow plank to systematically build core stability, shoulder strength, and full-body endurance. Steve layers in hip-opening lunges, lizard pose, and quad-stretch variations between plank sets so the hips and hamstrings get continuous attention. Standing sequences feature crescent pose with elbow-to-thigh twists that isolate the obliques, while locust pose, cobra, and sphinx offer spinal backbend relief from all the anterior-chain work. The class closes with boat pose for core reinforcement, Purvottanasana (reverse/upside-down plank), a seated forward fold, and a brief child's pose and shoulder-unwinding sequence before Savasana. Throughout, Steve consistently cues steady, regulated breathing as the key to sustaining effort — making mindful breathwork as central as the physical challenge. Ideal for practitioners looking to build a stronger plank, wake up a tired core, or recover after a run while still getting a solid workout.
