Give Planks Workout Plan
Welcome to our Give PLANKS workout plan! A plan to keep with a balanced and effective fitness routine leading up to Thanksgiving. As always, check with a doc before making any fitness changes and honor your body. Modify as needed along the way!
Here are the links to all of the workouts (the first numbers in each row correspond to the date in November. This starts Monday, November 10.) On Thanksgiving, I’d love my Instagram to EXPLODE with pics of you doing your plank challenge! Bonus points if you get the fam to join in with you. 😉

This looks great. I’m currently following Suzanne Bowen’s Fit for Fall challenge but will keep this rotation for a later date.
Yay, yay! Even though I had Thanksgiving last month, I’ll definitely participate in this 🙂
Yay! This will keep me going when I think in too busy:)

Day 1–check!
Day 1 done!
Finished day 10!
high five!!
I am a day behind, but I did workout number 1 today. I am a big ol’ sweaty mess. I could barely get myself to complete the ab burner. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s workout. 🙂
so glad you got a great workout!
Took the dog running for day 11! Feeling great!
Question: 10 minutes of jump roping .. is that a solid 10 minutes, or what?
Day 2 and 3 done today–My baby boy kicked my butt yesterday, so I got both days done today. Phew!
Thanks so much for this, Gina! I’ve been following along (swapping OFF and ON days based on my schedule) and it’s keep me motivated (and sore) pre-Thanksgiving! The Tabata circuit was an AMAZING workout.
Thank you for this workout plan. Its the best balance of rest and manageable workouts that I have seen in a long time. I’m loving it and sad to realize there are just a couple days rest. Thanks for getting me back to doing all out sprints again!
so happy to hear that you’re enjoying it!!
