Day 1 Challenge


Supergirl Planks 100 reps.

You can set your stop watch to see how long this challenge takes you, however it is not meant to be a race so don’t rush and just focus on keeping proper form. Get into the basic plank position and extend one arm and the opposite leg so that your body from your toes to your fingers is in one straight line. Make sure to keep your abs tight and don’t drop your hips. Switch the arm and the leg for each rep and try to complete 100 reps. If you are a beginner, you can cut down the number of reps, you can go on your elbows for more support, or you can do this exercise from your knees which is the easiest variation. You can also take periods of rest between reps if necessary. You will feel the muscles working in your core, shoulders, arms and legs. I was also amazed at the amount of cardio strength it required. Let me know how you did in the comments below!
