Hello!
This is the place for your planking and isometric challenges.
If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to planking and isometric exercises, we welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, we welcome you, too.
There are no set challenges - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group.
Just pick the target that you would like to achieve this month and post updates throughout the month as you work toward your target.
If you are new to planking it is a good idea to start with as little as 10 or 15 seconds and build up over time.
Here's a 30 Day Beginner Plank Challenge:
Here's a step by step guide to more advanced planks:

Happy planking!

I usually try to do 60 minutes per month. I was traveling to a conference earlier this week and will be on vacation later in the month so I may not make it. It's easy enough to do planks in a hotel room, but I completely forgot to this time.
