January 2013 Planking Challenge

All right people, Plank challenge time! Who wants to do this one? I will try to check in daily whether I plank that day or not, and cheer everyone on.

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??

Please do! It's a challenge for sure but so worth it! :) Good luck

Well, now, I'm in.

Okay, I'm jumping in. I love to plank and I like challenges! I did 200s low plank today.

I read where someone's back was hurting? I think it has resolved?

If your low back hurts, you have a couple options: raise your butt a bit more (then your core is engaged and not your low back) or modify the plank by lowering to your knees until your back is better ;)

That was more than likely me :) Yes It seems better :) I'm just at 120's yay

Terry I did too! I got the stomach bug last week and never got back on to planking! I really like it to. I love the idea of a challenge so I feel accountable and need to check in. :) Thanks for hanging in there with me for a while :)
