30-Day Plank Challenge: Who Is In For This One?

[southernsoul 773]

Today was day #1 of the Insanity workout (fml!) so I might as well plank too, in for a penny ...GG - did you notice any physical changes from planking?

One change I noticed last month while I was planking is that my waist feels less squishy than it did before. The muscles around the side & back part of my waist feel firmer. Now, whether this is from planking or just losing some of the fat I can't tell. But it's a change that I can feel & one that makes me pretty happy!

You weren't kidding when you said not to laugh at the 20 seconds. I ain't laughing! Whew! I was shaking and probably counted a little too fast those last few seconds. haha I have to do it again tonight for day 2 since I didn't see this until late last night when I was in bed.

All kids are the same. Mine said the same thing and he too collapsed in 10 seconds. We too laughed so hard that I fell down and I had to start all over again. It is not as easy as it looks is it?

I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow. Anyone know if it is okay to start planking at this stage? All we have done so far is walking.

hmmm I'm not sure I would have made it very far at 6 weeks. I do know that people,are cleared to lift weights at 6 weeks to technically it should be okay.

You could try it and if you feel discomfort or pain, stop immediately?
