    Doing planks of 2 or 3 minutes is just silly. Do a set of 3 x :60 and move on to the next exercise.

    Or try modifications to the basic plank as mentioned above. Lift one leg off the ground, side planks, feet elevated, use a Bosu ball, etc.

    I thought I would try this challenge last month. Sorry to say I did not make it 270 seconds in 30 days. It was easy at first but finally I could not increase by 30 second leaps and even back slid a few days after trying. So when I got back up to 120 seconds (went way down from 140) I started increasing for just as long as I could hold it past previous day. It is averaging about 10 second increase. So I am now up to 161 seconds. When I get to 240 I will be happy to keep it there. Holding that long is hard on my arthritic joints (LOL). BTW I have seen the most improvement in my obliques.
