Check out these awesome **plank variations** you can do anywhere, anytime. From forearms to side planks to elevated options — there’s something for every body. 👀 And yes… we *see* that bum rising in the last clip 👀 👉 Reminder: keep a **neutral spine** — ears, shoulders, hips, and ankles in one line. A proper plank is about **form, not duration.** Research shows that holding a plank with correct alignment for 10–30 seconds, repeated with rest, can be more effective than holding for minutes with poor form. A short workout will not give you the same results but it will keep you going on a path to consistency which is the key to progress! I will also connect your brain and body, make you feel more relaxed and energized! ## ✅ 10-Minute Full-Body Workout (4 Moves Only) **Format:** - 40 seconds work - 20 seconds rest - Repeat all 4 exercises = **1 round (4 minutes)** - Complete **2 full rounds** (8 minutes) - Finish with a **2-minute burnout** --- ### 🔁 **Round 1 & 2** 1. **Bodyweight Squats** - Sit back into your heels - Chest tall, core tight - Option: Chair squat for beginners 2. **Push-Ups** - Full push-ups or knees down - Keep elbows at a 45° angle - Option: Wall or incline push-ups 3. **Plank Hold** - Forearms or hands - Squeeze glutes, brace core - Option: Elevated plank on a bench or couch 4. **Burpees** - Full version: jump + push-up - Low-impact option: step back, no jump ✅ Rest 60 seconds between rounds --- ## 🔥 2-Minute Finisher (Burnout) Alternate every **30 seconds**: - **0:00–0:30** → Squat Hold - **0:30–1:00** → Plank - **1:00–1:30** → Push-ups - **1:30–2:00** → Burpees (or fast step-backs) --- ## 💡 Coaching Tips (especially for midlife bodies) - Quality > speed - Brace your core before every rep - Modify early, not late - If heart rate spikes → slow the tempo, not the workout   For more information and treatment book an assessment with[ PAUZ Today!](https://www.pauz.health)     #### [Empower Your Menopause Journey Today!](https://pauz.health/) [Join PAUZ!](https://pauz.health/) [Moving and Grooving: Physical Health](https://pauz.health/blog/tag/moving-and-grooving-physical-health) ## Read On [![](https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/43106b87-e8a6-4ded-b1cc-f41f329dbb0f/lean_protein_II.jpg?ixlib=rails-4.2.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max&impolicy=ResizeCrop&constraint=downsize&aspect=fit)](https://pauz.health/blog/what-is-all-this-protein-talk-here-is-the-ultimate-protein-primer) #### [What is all this protein talk?
