Plank Variations: 42 Plank Exercises With Video Demos
This page lists all 42 plank exercises in the LifeBuddy exercise library: forearm and high planks, side planks, bear planks, a reverse plank, and moving variations such as mountain climbers, plank jacks and walk-outs. All are bodyweight moves; two use a sturdy chair. Each exercise links to its own page with a video demo, form tips and the muscles it works.
How to use the list: pick 3–5 variations for a session, mixing static holds with moving planks and working from easier to harder:
- start with the Knees On Ground Plank Hold or the High Plank;
- add a side plank for your obliques, such as Side Plank Lifts;
- bring in movement with Marching Planks or Bear Plank Shoulder Taps;
- progress to the Chair High Plank, with your feet raised on a chair.
End a set when your hips start to sag or pike up, and keep breathing steadily. New to planks? Our planks for beginners guide covers form, common mistakes and how to progress.
For a plan, Weight Loss Workout At Home builds no-equipment workouts around your goal, level and training days, with a video demo for every exercise.
