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

[Fiddleman 4,376]

52 seconds today. Crapped out early. I think I might need to try this with shoes. My feet keep slipping. Are y'all doing It with shoes? Or bare feet?

Yes, I do planks with shoes on. Always have from day 1. Might I add that doing planks with cross train or lifting shoes really helps (make sure it has a solid toe box). Just started trying this a few days ago with my new lift training shoes and it makes it so much easier to feel planted and stable on the floor (surprise - burpees, squats and jumping lunges got way easier and more Fluid also) . Maybe planks would work even better with cowboy boots on! Just sayin...

Just coz I live in Tx you assume I have cowboy boots?

Good advice will try with shoes. Didn't bring anything but foo foo shoes on this road trip unfortunately.

I plank barefooted at home, but my feet have to be on the bare floor...if they're on a rug, they slip. Also, when I first started last month, I was keeping my feet too far apart. I asked my trainer to check my form one day & he said to keep my feet as close together as I can...which of course makes it harder, but more effective.

You're telling me I can't just roll over in bed and try it on the soft soft mattress? Dang!

Sure you can...you just have to warn R that you're only interested in planking.
