    It's a great challenge. It's not too much that you can't do it, and it'll strengthen the crap out of your core. Mine feels like a brick house only 1.5 months into these challenges. I'm sure there will be another one in November as well (I hope, it keeps me motivated.. thank you b3achy!).

    Thanks @Spliner1969 - yea, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for this month...just need to do 4 min x 5 next week to make the original goal. Side planks kind of suck, but I think I like them a little better than the elbow/forearm ones. I had to do a modified one on my left side (top foot out front for balance rather than on top) because of my shoulder, but got it done. I did my side plank on the forearm rather than straight arm. May have to try a straight arm side plank next. Was going to try a reverse plank too, but realized it wasn't happening today. I do want to start to mix it up bit.

    I do find it interesting how many different planks there are out there, and how no one can agree to what's what. Some sites say the forearm plank is the standard plank but then show a side plank with a straight arm. Others will stay straight arm is the standard plank and then show a side plank down on the forearm. Some say to never lock fingers while down on the forearm plank, and others state that is how to do it. I may try to get into some of the movement planks, but I think some of them actually will be easier than holding it (for example the dolphin plank is what I end up unintentionally doing when I'm having a hard time holding the plank to begin with because it's less pressure on the core). Will be interesting to see if that is true.

    I cannot do more than 1.5 min of a forearm plank most of the time unless its a day where I have not been working my core doing other exercises. Most mornings I manage a couple 1.5 min planks but I also mix in crunches, side crunches, push ups, inverted rows, chin ups, it gets taxing and I wear out. Not to mention I'm doing all that after spending 30 minutes on my elliptical/stairstepper (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment). On rest days, or if I wait until I am more rested in the evenings I can pull off 2 min planks but otherwise not. I tried side planks and the first time it hurt my back a bit, so may have to work up to those. I think the moving planks (like going from a push up to a side plank and back to the opposite side are probably not going to happen any time soon. I have some stability issues trying to move while in the plank position and it's likely from prior injuries and weakness in my lower spine, or I'm simply not strong enough to do it yet. These planks do seem to be making my core much stronger though, so only time will tell.

    @Spliner1969 - congrats on the rest day! You have earned it!!
    BTW, I had fun trying the dolphin plank (forearm)...sounded like it would be hard to do, but I liked it better than a static holding forearm plank even though it caused me to break a sweat. I think the movement, for me, was better on my back. Might have to integrate more into my planking routine.

    @b3achy I'll have to watch the videos a bit more on youtube, I'm not sure just yet what they mean by dolphin plank. Some videos simply show people with their torsos raised more than level, some raise and lower it over and over. I've actually done that (raising up then level over and over) to work my abs at the end of my planks (usually last 15-30 seconds) before usually on a 2 min plank because holding level for 2 whole minutes is frikking hard! Did not know they had a name for that lol.

    :star:Way to Go @Spliner1969 !! Congrats on reaching your Secondary goal !! So impressive!!! You are amazing! :star:

    I've had a couple of long days working, etc, and haven't done my planks for the past two days. I've got a goal that every time I take a break today, I'll do at least one. So I hope to rack up some time today to make up for the past couple.
