It's better to do what you need to do to get them done. Honestly I have read articles saying shorter are fine, longer are fine. I personally rarely do more than 30 seconds before I switch positions. I may do a 4 minute plank but I start in one position, switch to another in 30 seconds, then another, etc. without stopping. It helps keep it going and you can work more muscle groups that way. The longest plank I do in one single position is 1 minute.6 -

Yesterday I joined a Plank challenge to do 60 minutes of planks in 30 days. My cat encourages me by rubbing against my head and hip, then flops down next to me purring!
I hope I’m not violating any rules by posting this picture.
Will post my time later today.
The only rule I have in this challenge, and I'd wager @b3achy has the same rule, is no judgement of your fellow plankers. We all are different and are here to support each other's efforts.

@Spliner1969 Thanks! Because of my back and neck I’m going to hold off on side planks but will do what I can in hopes that the other muscles will strengthen and I’ll be able to add sides in the future.2
