If you're tired and bored of crunches and bench presses and want to take your workout session to an all-new level, you can add a few challenging exercises to your workout regime.

However, before attempting these workouts, keep in mind that these are not for beginners. So, if you are just starting out, work your way to build strength and muscle before attempting these exercises. If you attempt them without preparation and training, you will likely get injured.

If you're an advanced exerciser, though, get ready to grit your teeth, and incorporate these tough and challenging exercises in your gym workouts.

Here are five challenging exercises you can do at the gym:

A weighted plank is one of the most difficult exercises you can do for your core muscles. It not only challenges your core but also tests your leg strength and balance.

Prisoner get-up is an exercise that can fire up your entire core and activate your back muscles, particularly your lower back. Moreover, it can also work on your agility and balance.

The Barbell back squat is one of the most challenging compound exercises that require you to use more than one joint to perform it. This exercise targets the hamstrings, glutes and quads, and also strengthens the ligaments, tendons and joints around the hips and knees.

The planche is another complex and challenging isometric exercise that engages several muscles at once. Moreover, it also requires good strength and mobility as well as activation in every muscle in your body.

Pistol squats not only challenge the stability and strength of your legs, but they also require great lower body and hamstring flexibility to perform them correctly.

The exercises discussed above are advanced-level workouts and have an extreme difficulty level. You require the right skills, training and great body strength to master them. Therefore, it's recommended that you do them only under supervision and not go beyond your physical limits.
