• This ab workout is planking meets yoga flow. To wit: It’s called the Plank Flow. Rather than just holding a plain ol’ plank for minutes on end (boooring), you flow from side plank to reverse plank to regular plank to whatever other variations you can think of, changing plank position every five to 10 seconds. The end result? A killer ab workout that can be done whenever and wherever as long as you have a few minutes to spare. [Men’s Health]
