I'm in! My goal will be 60 mins total.1

And we're off..
August 1st, 2x5 min mixed planks (10 min)
Total for August, 10 minutes, 110 to go for goal.3 -
I will be going for shorter duration per hold, but mixing 4 types per session this time. I am also doing a push-up challenge on another thread and need to gage how the two challenges work out together.
For starters, 50 minutes total per month (2 mins / day at: 30 secs each for: Plank on Hands (PoH), Reverse Plank (RP), Right Side Plank (RSP) and Left Side Plank (LSP) and the occasional rest or "lazy" day when life gets in the way.
I start after work today.2 -
August 1st: plank on hands x2, 2mins 3seconds for the first, I was really rattling at this stage ha and 1min 12seconds for the second. Happy with my times they will improve through the challenge, I haven't set a goal yet but I'm thinking 80 - 100 for the month2

I love mixed planks. I do Forearm (:60), RSP (:30), LSP (:30), RSP (:30), LSP (:30), Forearm (:60), LSP (:30), RSP (:30) continuously switching without stopping so that no one position goes over 1 minute. Makes it much easier to hit a 5 minute total plank. I do it after my run, then switch back into some circuit training and come back for another 5 minute set to give me 10 minutes during each workout. Easy to add up a ton of time each month doing it this way and it keeps pretty much the entire core active. Keep up the hard work!2 -
I'm in! Goal of 60 minutes. Starting with 3x10 seconds on Day 1 (today!), building up to 3x80 seconds on Day 30. Somehow I got the math to work out.0

Goal for August: 60 minutes
August 1: 2x30sec (Forearm), 1x30sec (Right), & 1x30sec (Left) = 2 minutes0 -
Only got in 30 seconds today. I somehow forgot it was the 1st until bedtime. New to planks, but was able to hold 30 seconds without much difficulty. I'm interested to see how this changes as the weight goes down and muscle strength goes up.0

I'm really new to this so I'm going to go with a pretty modest goal for the first month. I have decided to go with this chart:
I am going to set an overall goal at 40 minutes though. Because I know that the days that are really shorter should be pretty easy for me so for those I'm going to do the seconds listed but a variety of them.
August 1: 15 seconds high plank, 15 seconds elbow plank, 15 seconds right side plank, 15 seconds left side plank
AUGUST TOTAL: 1/40 minutes completed

8/1 2 x 15 sec plank.....I have no idea how i am going to be able to do the 20 sec planks for today...
Total: 30 sec
If you do the same 2X15 as yesterday, you will have exceeded the day's target .... honestly, since you KNOW you can do 15 secs, (because you already have), encouraging yourself through an extra 5 isn't so bad. And TOMORROW will be even easier, because you will already know you can do it, because you already have! (if worst comes to worst, and you "only" do 17 or 18 seconds ..... pause ..... and then 10 seconds more. Or if you were really shaky and at the end of your arms' endurance, wait an hour or more, and then try for 20 again.0 -
