Just jumping in and marking my spot for later! Question? I see the "image" showing a plank on your forearms. I have always done them on my hands...like the start to a full push-up. Does it matter? Also, for the side planks, I am assuming you stack your feet and are on your forearms for that?
Thanks, and Happy June!0 -

:bigsmile: Good Morning to all my planking friends,
Thanks, Jlbay for getting us started for June.:bigsmile:
Kackie, there are no rules on this challenge......I like the planks on forearms better but whatever you do is fine....this is really a challenge with yourself and we just report and support and encourage each other:bigsmile:
I have to walk my dogs now and I'll do my planks later and report them.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

The forearm/dolphin plank is just a variation. I think it is a good variation if the push-up style plank hurts your wrists. You can do whatever plank variation you want for the challenge. I've done both and the core work seems to be the same, but the arms are worked differently. But, everyone's different and might feel the work in different areas.
Side plank: start in push up position and pull your body up onto one arm, feet stacked with the outer edge of the bottom foot pressing into the floor. Then you raise your top hand straight up. Don't let your hips drop and keep body in a straight line. A beginner variation is to start with both legs bent and resting on the side of the knee and calf on floor, then one leg bent for the next level. It is killer!
Google "plank variations" - there are tons of pics of planks.0 -

Thanks, Barbie and jlbay, for the "instructions" and tips. I do planks in yoga but didn't know if you had all decided on one kind for everyone. And the side planks are tougher!!!

Day 3
At least, it is over here in the UK.
I did a lot of planks in my yoga practice today, including 2 planks that I held until I couldn't any more.
No times for today - but I got my plank in.0 -
:bigsmile: I left my house at 5:30 AM Saturday to meet a friend to drive two hours to an all day line dance workshop (8AM to 10PM). I did my planks before I left but didn't have time to post them.
1. 2 minutes
2. 1 minute 30 seconds.
We stayed in a motel Saturday night and when I got up I did my planks in the room before going for a walk for an hour
1. 2 minutes
2. 1 minute 30 seconds
3. 30 seconds.
I'm home now and glad to be here but not as glad as the dogs who bounced all over when they saw me.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -

2. 1 minute 30 seconds

:laugh: I've been thinking about the side plank but still haven't tried doing it.......I guess the first step might be looking for a video or pictures so I can learn how to do it.:bigsmile: then I can add it to my "plank plan"0 -
Not a great day for planks. I did a 10 km bike ride, some strenght training and by the end I couldn't do planks. i did do the knee plank for 40 min. But the regular plank only for 25 seconds. Tried a side plank and held only for 10 sec.
Tomorrow is another day.0 -
Today is Tuesday and I got my planks in early.
2 knee planks 1 - 30 sec and 1 - 15 sec
1 regular plank 30 sec.0 -
DAY 5
I totally spaced day 4 - so much going on!
I had a plank heavy yoga class today - no timed plank, but I definitely got my plank on.
So tired - lots of exercise plus heavy house cleaning and I'm exhausted! It is hard to workout hard while trying to lose lbs!0
