To some, ok maybe most, this core workout is going to sound insane. In part it actually is. I will testify though that it is pretty cool at how fast this works.
Step 1: The plank. Weight on the forearms, Balls of the feet and back straight as a board. If you want to intensify it even further (you won't though) suck in your stomach like one of those crazy convulsionists. I usually do this on rest sets when I transfer from forearms to a downward dog pose on my knuckles instead of in the forearm plank.
Step 2: To take the workout from just a core workout to a deluxe core workout, have someone you trust lightly kick you while in the forearm plank position. Kick your abs, kick your shoulders, kick your feet, kick your legs. The kicking forces your body to constrict more than normal in the plank and works your shoulders, core and quads and is an awesome workout.
*Like I said though... Only do this workout with someone you trust. Don't need someone using steel-toe boots to "help" you out.
