Does anyone else have a horrible time with sideplanks? Maybe I just have bad form but it feels like every time i go back down and put my hips on the floor something digs right into my side, maybe is a muscle that i never use, but afterward I have a hard time doing anything involving my hips. Walking, sitting, stretching. You name it. ): That and my shoulder really hates me after, too. It's only for about half an hour to an hour but its still annoyinggg.

actually, i dislike a lot of planks. :laugh: maybe they're getting me back.

    When I first started doing them, I couldn't do them at all, not one bit. Now I don't have a problem at all, and can hold it quite some time. Maybe once you get stronger, it won't be so painful for you?

    i HATE them! i've found that they are a little easier if you wear sneakers while doing them.
