...please play or I'll feel like a fool. Post a note that you'll play and then edit it with your time!

Since I have the time to sit here posting, I'm going to go hold a plank - good form, please! Watch that butt! - for as long as possible.

I DARE you to do the same.

If you're reading this/ reading the comments, you clearly have time time. 5 seconds is better than 0, so what are you waiting for?

Let's post times, and keep up a challenge.

    I'll play...

    I've been taking a boot camp class in the mornings and part of our assessment every four weeks is seeing how long we can hold the plank (butt down is a must!).

    Last Friday, I held my plank for 7 minutes, 5 seconds! The record is just over 8 minutes, so that's my goal. :)

    It shows you how strong your core is. A strong core is key to a strong body.

    SEVEN MINUTES? Holy crud. My two minutes look like... child play. I must work on that. Perhaps, five second intervals every night or so.

    And this is just for fun/ to get us off the computer for a few minutes. Or seconds. :flowerforyou:

    You rock. You get like 10 minutes for making me laugh... but lost 1 minute because my tummy hurts wayyy too much right now to laugh!

    Do it tomorrow! And sounds like you had a blast today!

    Also... if the planks are too easy/you want something different (I don't know if these are actually easier or harder), try these: http://www.fitsugar.com/3269137
