Veteran 200 Gatineau, Quebec | Subject: RE: Plank a day challenge Late in finding this challenge. Think I'll join if it's not too late. I always looked for reasons not to do the plank, as I usually do them after push ups, so end up skipping too many of them. This challenge is perfect to force me to give up excuses :-) |

Extreme Veteran 1222 Tallahassee, Florida | Subject: RE: Plank a day challenge ransick - 2013-01-27 4:54 PM One plank for 2:45 brings my total time planking to one hour even :-) Whew, Jennifer and Mike are major over-achievers! I went up to a 2 min plank one day and I decided that isn't for me. Maybe later. But I've still got a plank every day and I'm at 43 plank min and 1200 crunches for the year. Now where are those bleeping abs? Edited by Pink Socks 2013-01-27 5:47 PM |

Veteran 200 Gatineau, Quebec | Subject: RE: Plank a day challenge Regretted joining this challenge on the second day The 90 seconds yesterday was not bad, but worked 12 hours today, followed that with 2 hours of Badminton and then 1 1/2 hours of shoveling. By the time I got back in the house, the last thing on my mind was a plank. With my wife's encouragement, went through a very long 90 seconds. Will increase to 100 seconds tomorrow. |

I was just settling in to bed at a hotel on a business trip yesterday when I remembered I hadn't done my plank. Got up and got it done myself. |

Extreme Veteran 1222 Tallahassee, Florida | Subject: RE: Plank a day challenge All of you are doing so good. You all seem to be adding seconds every day. WTG! Question: when you a a front plank, do you do it on your elbow or your hands? Hubby says that it's harder to do on your hands but for me, it's harder on my elbows. I guess I'm just interested in others opinion to see if I'm doing something wrong (or right) in some in the positions. |

Haven't tried it on my hands, that seems more like the top of a pushup than part of a plank, but I'm a plank newb to be honest. |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: Plank a day challenge I'm late to the party but not late to the daily January plank! I'm up to 4:15 on my hands and on my forearms. I'm making sure I can do both. I'm aiming for 5 minutes sometime in early February. After that, I'll do some plank variations like side plank and reverse plank. Woo hoo!!!!  |

It is easier to fall out of the proper form when you are on your hands. |
