Plank Jump-Ins - What it Works
Focus: Abs
Type: Metcon
Difficulty: level 4 of 5

Start in a push-up position, hands under your shoulders. Jump both feet forward together, landing in a crouch with your knees tucked up toward your chest and your hands still planted - then jump both feet straight back out to the plank. In, out, in, out: your abs pull the knees in, your hands never move, and your hips stay low on the way back so you land in a plank, not a pike.

Works: abs, hip flexors, shoulders, quads

Breathing: Exhale as you jump the feet in, inhale as you kick back out.

Common Mistakes: Landing the jump-in flat-footed and far from the hands, piking the hips high on the way back out, and letting the shoulders drift behind the hands as fatigue builds.

Make Easier: Step one foot in at a time instead of jumping, or shrink the jump so the knees come in halfway - or build up with Climbers and Plank Jacks.

Make Harder: Speed up the in-out cycle without letting the hips rise, or move on to Burpees or Ape Hops.

I really like this website. It doesn't make me overthink what to workout. I would just do one or two of these workouts, walk for 45 minutes and stretch. It makes me feel good.

Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for… Awesome effort you put into making quality workouts/plans/programs and that you still continually update and add new ones. Grateful for your promise in keeping this site accessible and free for people of all fitness levels & goals around the world. Found Darebee some time years ago and used to just save the workouts and then forget about them somewhere in my documents & to do later lists 😅 but coming back to the site this year I loved the organised/simple layout & navigation of the site with full workout video at bottom to see proper form and notes to make things easier or harder depending on your fitness/energy aswell as an extensive exercise library with joint friendly alternatives. I found it much easier to track/check off completed workouts & days on program/plan on dashboard, was more likely to remember & do it + advanced filter made it quick to find a doable workout. As a tiny way to support this site I made account and use the site exclusively for exercises now, will look to donate when I can 🙏🏽 and would recommend it to all I talk to regarding fitness. Thank you Darebee team for the great job you've all done here and keep up the good work. Blessings to you all.
