Both times I tried for 150, but didn't make it. Day 18 is 150 seconds! So from here it gets hard for me.1 -
Day 22 180 seconds... dropped to my knees for about 5 seconds at about 2 minutes1

Day 18 (150 seconds) I did 200 seconds. I did it before eating first time in the day and that seemed to help.2
-
Day 24 180 seconds2
-
Day 24 - done but broken down into 3 60 secs - well done @Joanna2012B - you are doing amazing!!!!1
-
I'm still planking along! Day 23 done, did 210 seconds with the last 30 seconds being a bit shaky. I was wore out, so I did another 90 seconds for more torture or fun? I haven't decided which it is, "Fun Torture"???3
-
Day 20 ... did 241 seconds! Probably the most I've ever done.
Day 21 ... did 154 seconds ... okay the first one wiped me out.
Before this challenge I was only doing planking two or three times a month. I would do 5 to 10 planks pushing my total time to 10 to 15 minutes. I think the daily planking is helping build some strength, but it is a bit boring. I've be trying to read the newspaper while planking.1 -
Ok so yesterday I see i should have done 210 seconds I thought it was still 180. So today I did 210 seconds plus a 30 second plank!1
-
Day 25 - 210 secs done - 1 60 secs and 1 150 secs - woop!!1
-
I was just sitting here thinking about my very early start to tomorrow as I am at a seminar all day. I thought I would do my plank for tomorrow this evening instead. So I go to check the length of plank for tomorrow only to find that tomorrow is a ......... REST DAY!!!! You have no idea how overjoyed I was!!!!!1

@Joanna2012B - pmsl!! nice one!!! Just an aside to show how well we are doing - I had a client pop over this avo to pick up his accounts - I am an accountant and I work from home - he commented that I was looking good, etc - I told him I have lost 20 pounds etc and also mentioned about the planks - he does triathlons and is very fit - when I told him how long I had managed this am - allbeit a 3/4 plank - he was seriously impressed!!!! made me feel a real sense of achievement!!!
Looking fwd to tackling October's challenge together - an onto more awesomeness he he he1 -
That is so awesome @DebbieNeedham1 ! It is so nice when someone notices your accomplishments and it does make it worthwhile!! I am so proud of you my friend!!! Hmmm a triathlete eh!!! That is a goal of mine to do a Triathalon! I have to master the swimming part though...I don't wanna drown!!LOL
I am looking forward to the October Challenge too....looks like we'll have a few more than just the two of us I am sure I am boring you by now!!!
FYI...I think we get a long so well cause we are in the same field!! I am not an accountant, but do the job of one1 -
Day 22 (180s) I did 256s in one plank. It seems doing a plank or two everyday is starting to help my planking. However, my middle was pretty sore for a few hours.1
-
@Joanna2012B - ah cool!! Yeah you are probably right - like minds eh??
Yeah I am looking fwd to the Oct challenge also - hope that more people stick with us this time!! And nah you are not boring me - u have been great company and motivation!! So bring on the Ocober fun he he1 -
Day 25 done - or whatever day it is lol!! rest day tomorrow then the October challenge starts on Sat - he he he0
-
Aren't we on day 26 and it was test today!!! Did I mess up again!?!0
-
If you started on the 5th then today is day 25. Today I did 288 seconds. TWO HUNDRED EIGHT EIGHT!! I had to seriously push it for that, maybe a little to much. That was about 8 hours ago and my stomach is sore, my shoulders are sore, and my legs are sore, feels somewhat good. My job is light to moderately physical, and I did the plank 30 minutes into work, bad idea. haha
So close to 300, amazed at how fast I have added time.2 -
Oh darn! I took my rest day today! I will plank tomorrow0
