    I have problems with carpal tunnel, which the 90 degree angle of a full plank irritates, so I use small hand weights to eliminate the angle at my wrist while planking. I also get bored holding a full plank for longer than 30 seconds, but I don't have much upper body strength, so I can't do many of the variations of a full plank - YET! I have found that I can add demi-push ups (feels like demi-plies for arms!) to change things up a bit: 15 seconds of straight planking, 15 seconds of demi-push ups then repeat. I am currently at 90 seconds twice a day!

    Try forearm planks, they are just as challenging as straight arm planks. To me, it puts more stress on your core than your arms than a straight arm plank anyway. Also there's nothing wrong with using the hand weights/dumbells to keep your wrists from hurting. I tend to do push ups sometimes using dumbell weights in the same manner for less stress on the wrists. I've been an IT guy and stuck in front of a keyboard for many many years so I have a light case of carpal tunnel as well.

    February Plank Goal: 60 min

    2/06 - 6 min
    2/10 - 5 min
    2/13 - 10 min
    2/17 - 10 min
    Total: 31 min

    I would like to start doing a couple minutes per day, but it hasn't worked out. I revised my strength circuit workout to include 1 min of plank between each lifting exercise (before I would do 1 min of aerobic exercise in between).

    Well, I managed to delete my plank log while trying to cut and paste it on to here with my phone. It had all the types of planks I have done - side, row, etc. But I remember the total for the month!
    February total = 57 minutes. 33 more to goal.
