Plank Challenge

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:




DareBee 5 minute Plank Workout:


Feel free to share your variations and challenges.


Happy planking!

I want to get into the habit of doing planks. I want to build a habit of standing up from my desk a couple of times a day and doing a plank. The 30 day challenge above looks useful. I might use that as a guide.
