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

I started this last month but haven't made it to the end yet, so I thought I'd try again. Who's with me?

Take my advice, don't laugh when you see 20s for the first day. After 5 seconds the shakes start and you realize this is tough. But totally doable! I got to 100s by the end and that made me feel good. And hey, if I can do it? You can do it!

All you have to do is dedicate less than 3 minutes to this, and it can be done anywhere (I mean, don't try it in a public place, but you know...)

Attached is a picture and the schedule we can try to follow together.

Who's in??

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.

My 10yr old and I did day one last night she said "oh Mom that looks easy" tried it and collapsed at 10secs I laughed so hard we completed day 1!! my upper body is sore but its a great feeling ready for todays plank!

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?

Made my 9 year old do it with me....funny funny funny!!!!

Did my 20 sec plank today.....after ejecting my almost 3 year old off "his neigh's back" I got a kick in the side and a yee haw neigh!! lol

I was shaking some after that first 15 seconds....that is a no shitted thing there :D

Day 2 ~40 sec plank!

Just noticed you Staffers!! WTG helping out here!! :)

I'm embarrassed to admit I'm sore from day 1...20 seconds hurt me....sad sad sad.

My 9 year old did it with me. He likes to do it. Him and my 13 year old daughter compete doing these!!! Crazy kids!
