Five 60-Second PLANKS

Here’s how to do them: http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises_10.htm

The Plank is great for building strong abdominal muscles! If this is your first time, start off by holding your plank for 10 seconds. If you can continue holding your plank with good form, stay up the whole minute or as long as you can while maintaining good form.

Post once to accept and be sure to come back and brag once you’re finished!

Super Challenge: Five 30-second planks + 30-second mogul planks. Here’s how to do them. Hold a static plank for the first 30 seconds and then Bend your knees, keep your feet together and jump up slightly and about a foot (or more if you are feeling particularly motivated) to the right. Jump feet back to the middle and then to the left. Keep on jumping for 30 seconds. Check out this video for a visual of both a high impact and low impact version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av_L68m_X3g

    Going to give this a go!!

    Later...

    I just completed my first 60 second plank (used my timer on my phone to know I had it dead on 60 seconds) Didn't realise how hard it would be to hold for 60 seconds! Hoping to do at least 1 more tonight! Heart is pumping fast!! Feel good though

    Even Later...

    2nd 60 Seconds done! 2/5 completed! Thanks for this challenge, these planks make me feel good!
