When I started working out I could barely reach a minute. Today I did my first 2 minute plank. I know it doesn't sound like much, but planks freakin hurt! =)

    Awesome job! It is great getting stronger. I want to hate planks but the exercise is so effective that I now just power through and enjoy the results.

    Thanks everyone!! It wasn't until I started doing planks consistently that I started noticing results. My stomach is finally getting harder. I do about 4 planks at about 1 minute - 2 minutes now in each of my workouts

    That's awesome! I just attempted to plank and only made it to 35 seconds the first time and 40 seconds the second time.

    thank you for reminding me of the simplest, yet most effective, core exercise! (simple getting into position, not DOING them:laugh: )

    2 minutes is a long time!! Great job:flowerforyou:

    That is a good idea to include some either before or after other exercise, might just use that, Thanks!
