Ab Workout - Spider Man Plank

I recently discover this gem of a calisthenic! No kidding it works almost every hard to work muscle in my body! With the very limited time I have between my kiddos, work, cooking, and life, I try to maximize my workouts by incorporating exercises that work multiple body areas at once. The Spider-Man Plank works my shoulders, abs, and glutes among many other muscles. It's a new addition to my workouts and is quickly becoming my go-to exercise on days I only have 10 min to fit in a workout!

Here's How:

Place your forearms on the floor, elbows under your shoulders, and extend your legs behind you with your knees on the floor.

Lift your right foot behind your right knee and bring your knee to the out side of your right elbow. Hold for a second.

Extend right leg back behind you, lower your knee back to the floor and repeat with on your left side.
