Up-Down Plank

This simple bodyweight move is great for fat loss, explained NASM-certified trainer Leon Turetsky, founder of Back Intelligence. "It challenges many upper-body muscles like chest, shoulders, and also works the core muscles," he told POPSUGAR.

  • Begin in a full plank. Lower your right elbow to the mat and then your left, coming into an elbow plank.
  • Put your right hand on the mat, and straighten your right elbow. Do the same on the left to return to a full plank.
