Day 15 = 1min 30secs.
On my first go.
Have gone back to the article
Posted by history1027 to improve my plank posture. Needing to pull in my core to help alleviate this discomfort, as it was challenging on the lower back.
Otherwise onwards and plankwards2 -
Finished my third day of 60 second.like others have said, it got easier by the third day.
@alipsie19 it came up on my timeline like you posted all three in one day. I was going to say that's crazy. My core muscles are sore just from the one
I actually did
Day 1-6 together,
Day 7-9 together, Day 10 the same night
Day 11 in the am then Day 12 in the pm.
Skipped this morning though. I'm going to hit it hard this afternoon!1 -

Day 14: 90sec hold...
And then I let myself get bogged down in other minutiae.1 -
very late so im doing 5days per day1

Day 15: 90sec hold, collapse.
jmacaroni- you were right, they are getting easier. I also think it's the fact that I'm not having to do as many in a row to catch up.
How's everyone else doing?
Ooganlana, how'd those first five go?
Serenade_N, how's the back? Better?1 -
Power to you guys playing catch up.
A big pant!
Day 16 = 120sec! On first go!! I really didn't want to drop my knees and go again if I dropped
Before 120secs. And back does not feel too bad. Thanks alipsie19. I Continue to stretch as I do post plank.
Onwards and plankwards!0 -

Day 16: 2 min hold, rest 3 min
Day 17: 2 min hold, collapse
Almost caught up! Hurts so good1 -

Hope to be back on today after this little blip.1 -

Sweeeet! How was it? How are the stretches coming?
I start shaking at 1:30.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute of the day, huh?! But hey, I did not forget about y'all.
Day 18: 2 min 30 sec hold!
We've got this!!3 -
Well done!
If I was to pin point a point of when I start shaking I'm not able to exactly. It goes in waves and never similar, my quads, arms, lower back will take turns to lead the shake squad. I have to shift a little front and back or side to side to persuade my mind I can do the planks said duration.
But if I was to pin point a point of grit it'll be 1:50ish. In my mind it's like "common another 10+30secs....common...."
I always think I am at the edge and then when I reach it and collapse down to the floor I think omg if I reached this I wonder how much more can I go?....
A lot of my curiosity about what my body can do is driving this now. I am truly grateful for having found this group. Thank you.
Half way there....
Day 18: 150secs done!
