If you’re short on time, this plank HIIT workout is a perfect way to build stability and core strength in under 10 minutes. And if you’re serious about building a strong core, you need more than endless crunches. Stability is the foundation of real core strength - and planks are where it all begins.

This quick Plank & Stability Core HIIT workout takes just 10 minutes and will train your abs, obliques, and lower back to stay strong under pressure. No equipment needed, just your bodyweight and some space on the floor.

The Workout

Format:

  • 30 seconds each move

  • 15 seconds rest between moves

  • 3 rounds total

  • Rest 1 minute between rounds

Moves:

Forearm Plank



High Plank Shoulder Taps



Side Plank (left & right)



Why These Moves Work

  • Forearm Plank: The foundation of stability. Builds deep abdominal strength, protecting your spine and improving posture.

  • High Plank Shoulder Taps: Forces your core to resist rotation as you lift one hand at a time, teaching control and balance.

  • Side Plank: Targets your obliques and strengthens your spine from the side, creating a balanced and resilient midsection.

Why a Plank HIIT Workout Builds Real Core Strength

Plank variations don’t just hit your abs — they improve total-body stability. By learning to brace properly, you’ll:

  • Protect your lower back during lifts and daily tasks

  • Boost sports performance by resisting unwanted movement

  • Build a solid foundation for more advanced core training

Try It Now

Hit play on the demo videos above and in just 10 minutes, you’ll feel your core working in ways you've never felt!

Tip: Stay focused on form. Quality beats speed every time when it comes to stability work.
