    WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE? heh

    Background (complete dork, I know): I have a party on April 29. It's a get together of a group on Facebook. The hostess (a good friend) has decided that we are going to have a plank challenge. She is a complete smack talker, so I *must* beat her. It is a bent elbow plank, whoever drops last, wins. So, I've been conditioning.

    I plank a minimum of 5 days a week. Every day, I start with the longest I can hold it. I'm up to 5 minutes 15 seconds. So for March, that alone will give me a minimum time of 115 minutes.

    Do I shoot for the stars and go for 200 minutes? That would be either an additional 8.5 minutes a day of other planks, or adding a 6th or 7th day some weeks. Is that feasible? All I know is I want to be well over 10 minutes by April 29!

    3/1: 5:15 bent arm plank + 7(ish) minutes mixed planks

    My max so far has been 8 minutes. I can eeek out a few more seconds, but I generally accomplish it mixing my planks. I think part of my problem is I do them mid-way through a cross training workout and my arms and abs are already pretty tired when I start them. I start with forearm, go to straight arm, then switch from side to side until finished (30 seconds each side at a time). I'll sometimes mix in other positions but the 8 minutes is continuous. I don't think I could do 8 minutes of a single plank position without changing positions, so if you can do 5 you're already ahead of me for sure. Welcome to the challenge!
