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. :)

    Yea! I <3 planks! Keep it up, and work on that form!

    I remember the first time I did one... TEARS were coming down! (no exaggeration!)

    And then last night I did almost ten minutes of planks in a row!

    You can DO it!

    Thanks!! I just had to yell out loud "I CAN do it!!!" Literally I was yelling it out loud. Thankfully no one was home haha. My body kept trying to tell me to stop at 30-35 seconds but I WAS able to do it. It is such an exhilarating feeling.

    As a fellow 300+ lb start-weight person, a full minute is amazing. I'm lucky to get 30 seconds in most times despite being down to 286 now. Great job!

    oh wow that is awesome, well done ! I struggled during a 70sec plank in a fitnessblender video yesterday, had to come down at 30 secs then back up quickly for the remainder.

    A minute is a LONG time to hold plank! Great job! :D
