Want to know something that has me super pumped right now? I am a little over 300lbs. I tried the plank today and I was able to do it for a full minute!!! I know its not that long but for me it is!!! Let me tell you, if I can do it then so can you. Ahh I'm so so excited about this. :)

    Thanks guys!! Yes it is definitely the small things that makes a difference. I was literally shaking at the end too laurajcrampto!! I was also yelling loudly "I CAN do it!!!" Haha. Thankfully no one was home because I really was yelling. It is such an exhilarating feeling!!

    You go girl!! That is something to be proud of.

    And awesome job getting out of your own head - your body doesn't give up first, your mind does.

    This is FANTASTIC.....

    i used to be over 300 pounds I couldn't do that then.

    I am now much LESS than 300 pounds and I can do 500 crunches, 300 swiss ball crunches and 127 jack knife prones and yet I can only do a 15 second plank.

    that is AWESOME. good for you.

    Planks are great, I do reps of them in my core workouts, although, I am really looking forward to getting a minute on my planche forms, still working the first form though :sad:

    Not sure why I missed this, but great job, a minute is hard core!

    Sweet! Keep going!!! I've had to do 2 minute planks for the strength program I'm using, and I hate them. Mostly because I can't stand being still for 2 minutes.

    Planks are awesome! I read somewhere that 60 second planks are actually more effective for core work than crunches. Keep it up!
