Core Workout Timer

Plank, Russian twists, hollow hold — 40 seconds at each station, 10 seconds to switch, three times through. With a 30-second break between rounds, the whole circuit clocks in at exactly 8:00.

Two of the three stations are isometric holds, so the work here is refusing to let your shape break rather than chasing reps — the Russian twists in the middle are the only place you actually move. Eight minutes earns its keep at the end of a run or a lifting session, when your core is warm but the rest of you is spent. If the hollow hold collapses early, open it in the editor and shorten that one station instead of skipping it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the core finisher take?
8:00 even — three rounds through the plank, Russian twists, and hollow hold, with quick 10-second switches between stations and a 30-second breather between rounds.
When should I run it?
After the main work of a session is the intent. It also stands alone on a busy day — just give yourself a couple of minutes to warm up first, because the preset doesn’t include one.
What if I can’t hold the hollow hold for 40 seconds?
Bend your knees or keep your arms by your sides to shorten the lever, and hold that easier shape instead. Breaking the interval into two shorter holds works too — just keep coming back into position until the timer moves you on.
