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??

GG Where did you get that naked photo of me planking? I'm not referring to the naked, photo-shopped Barbie Doll either?

Hit 400 s yesterday. Yay! Next goal, 430s.

I did my 45 seconds today plus some extra ones. Sooo challenging but I love it:):)

65 s plank done!!

Good job on the planking!

How many times a day do you do this and any tips for something to work the muscle under the arm (you know the flabby bit when you wave)

Arg!!! I just found this thread but I want to play! Just did first plank.. 21s.. hmmm

Ok.. so do you just do one or do you do it like 3 Times or something?

You do 1 and hold for the amount of seconds required for that day. If it's too easy, move ahead.

This coming from the woman whose profile photo shows cheekbones sharp enough to cut something with? Tell me another one!

I don't know how much this will help that skin, but I do feel it in my arms when I do it.

40 today :)

So I guess I'm gonna have join in on this. Being banded, crunches are out for me at this point in my journey. Looking forward to the challenge.

Haha! Thanks but it was my saggy butt I was referring to. My back side looks like the saggy, baggy elephant!

Did 35s plank, 35s bridge and two 10s side planks again. Those side planks are tough and I really struggle to hold the left side (my weak side) even for 10s. I can feel it working me though. Glad I'm in on this challenge cuz I'm blowing the December fitness challenge so far.
