I'm pretty excited about planking. The Mrs. Winnie-the-Pooh belly is much smaller now, but I really need to tone my core for every reason. Unlike a lot of exercises, this one is easy to do in a very short amount of time. Also I have wrist and hand problems and since this is on the forearms there is no impact at all. There are challenges that suggest twenty seconds to start on first and second days, then moving up to thirty, etc.

These images helped me a lot:

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 am going to do it. Thanks!

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 don't like them but they help a lot so they gotta be done! I can currently do 1.05min

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. )
