Hello, everyone!

Continuing the thread from @dewit , who took over from Jeffrey_ad (and there were many before them).

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 28 Day Plank Challenge:8ycpd4fzr96d.jpeg

An Advanced Plank Challenge: 3q9hjljat9cz.jpeg

Feel free to share your variations and challenges.

Happy Planking! 🙌

    So every time I look at this, I think to myself, are you really trying to get to 2 hours of planks? Or is it supposed to be 2 minutes?

    I intend to do 2 hours during a month, not at the same time 😀 I mostly hold a plank for a minute at a time x
