Week #1

tbellamy1

Hello all my fellow plankers!!! Hope you all have started or have a plan to start this challenge. Its week 1 and I am feeling really good about this challenge.

I started this am with 2/60!!!. I did 1 minute rested then did another minute. The shakes kicked in about 45 seconds into the first one and the second one they started about 25 seconds into it. But I did it 2 minutes down and 58 more to go!!

LETS GET IT IN FOLKS!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

When I saw you number of days logged post it reminded me to go do my planks this morning, so I did 3 x 60 second planks.

I've decided to do 3 a day so I can actually have some rest days to allow my core to recover, so my plan is 5 days a week @ 3 mins a day will get me on target to finish

Thats a awesome plan!! My goal is to workout up to 2 minutes straight and move up from there.

Oh my core definitely needs this! I did 1 minute high and one minute low.

The most I can do is 2 mins straight, but there's no way I could do a rest and another min as the shakes start almost immediately (I've tried before) so although I can do more than a min, I can't do more sets at that time.

I like to aim high, lol and get over the 60 so my aim is to actually work up to been able to do 4 x 60 and eventually 2 x 2 (lol, I highly doubt this) I want to do the plank work in one session also, so I won't be splitting up during the day

Mine were low planks but I will be switching it up. High, low, side. Heck maybe one leg up!!! lol

Crystalchaos72

5/60 completed 60 second duration x 5 with 2 min rest in between, the 5th had me shaking for the whole minute! I was in standard push up position for each, is that what 'high' is ?

Fab start to the challenge, I'm not surprised you where shaking the whole time for the last one. Yes standard push up is high on elbows is low!

Just a quick question if I do a side plank do I have to do 60 seconds each side for it to count as 1? don't want to end up cheating

Just waiting to get to the gym to do mine today. I'm building a circuit to be repeated 3 times, so hopefully I'll be 3 minutes in by the end of the day.

So I decided to join and got started. I did 4/60 already. 1 minute high, 1 minute low, 30 second per side plank and then another minute high with leg circles. I hope I can keep it up

3/60 done! Low plank for 1 minute, high plank for one minute, and each side plank for 1 minute (I've decided for myself to only count side planks as 1 minute for doing both sides).
