    I'm in! Just tried. I really thought I could do at least 3 minutes as I do planks everyday but never actually timed them. Only a minute! I'm shocked so I will work on this challenge. Thank you for it!

    Keep it up - great results can be achieved! Last summer I took on a plank challenge: 30 secs. to 5 minutes in 30 days. I got to 4:30 min. by the end of 30 days...took me another 3 months to break the 5 min. mark. :-) But the change in my upper body was significant. My muscle definition and tone improved so much that you could see the changes through my clothes, especially arms and shoulders. And this was the only upper body exercise I did at the time.

    You've inspired me to start a new fitness challenge. Thanks!

    Good morning everybody! Hope you all are staying motivated! Otherwise when I make it to the four minutes mark... I'm gonna have to make fun of you! ( inbetween gasping for air and clutching my sides in agony)

    Just a reminder that anyone one day three will be moving up to a 30 second plank today! Good luck!

    Ok.. I'll admit.. I'm a newbie at MFP.. but I have to ask.. when you guys say. "Day 1 0.20 : 0.20" why put the "0.20" twice? I'm sorry, I just got confused.

    Great job so far!!!

    @nmannette575 So I'm new to using the community section of MFP as this was my first challenge and I also started another recently, but I was doing it based on this comment:
    I'll give it a go by your 28 day one!
    Start today?
    Post each day if u can get on and write day and time aiming for, and time made (if u got to the time or falling before it) so e.g.
    Day 1 : 0.30m : 0.26m
    Day 15 : 1.25m : 1.25m
    ? Or do u have an idea?!

    It's just to show what day your on (in case we are not all on the same day), the goal for that day & then what your actual finish time was. Maybe you didn't hit the goal for the day, or maybe you went over. It's more-or-less a way to log your progress.

    - This is all opinion btw, so take it however you will. I didn't actual start the challenge so I can't say for sure.

    wow Cassidy you inspired me after reading all your posts yesterday I went and broke my 2 min barrier that I've been stuck on for ages I'm now at 2.30min two days running. I can't imagine getting past this it killed but I didn't think I'd get to 2 min oh well onwards and upwards hopefully I will be able to surpass this at some point. At the moment just happy reading your posts. Go guys you're going to kill it
