Were you watching me? Ha! I plank 3 minutes at a pop, but only if I am distracted with my phone.

Variants are to hold your plank, step out to the side with one foot, then bring the other foot to the same side, back to middle one foot at a time and then out to the other side. 15 x per side.

Or, start from the arms bent position, go up to arms straight, hold, back down to arms bent, repeat. 15 x.

Start from arms straight, "walk" out with one arm about 6 inches, follow with other arm and walk back. 15 x.

Lots of other additions, too. They are killer on your abs, but butt down!

Ok you are good! 20 seconds in and I'm doubting I can make it. How long was it before you saw results (please say 2 days :)

Ok just started a thread in the a Fitness section called Planking Challenge!

Hello Jess

Can you add a link to the thread. I use the app and can not find it.

Thanks

I use the app too and don't know how to post a link! Maybe someone else can? It's in the fitness and exercise forum!

Yes, two days. Ripped abs, flat stomach, tight ass. Ha! Planks are very effective. Try doing it 10-15 times a day working up to a total time of 15 minutes a day in position. (Total, not all at once!)

I just had a Tummy Tuck, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation 3 weeks ago, but I can't wait till my surgeon clears me to do ab work!! I will definitely be doing the plank challenge along with squats!!

I am taking rowing classes at a fitness center. Part of last Saturday's class was planking. I did it as instructed. It works!! Sun-tues I was very sore. LOL I'm ready for class tomorrow. Nothing like a really good work out. :o)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
