Week #1

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. :tongue: 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.

    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 :)

    2 x 60 sec planks for me for today!
  • 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 :)
  • I did 4 x 90 seconds (normal) and 4 x 60 seconds (underarm) today

    - Yes it does hurt -

    we will see how much I can do tomorrow

    then 1-2 days rest

    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 :)
