    At the end if aerobics class my instructor makes us do 1 minute planks, then 30 second side planks on each side. I can do it, but it is still hard work, and I've been gymming it for ages and weigh 159. I started at 220 and I'm not sure if I could've done it then. So kudos to you!

    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.

    Put a book down on the floor and read while you're planking. Works for me!

    That's a good idea! I tried MFP'ing, but it didn't work so well. :smile:

    thanks for the book idea it IS awesome.

    A minute plank is awesome! I'm so jealous!

    This morning I worked up to 20 seconds, then collapsed on the floor, nose-to-nose with the cat, and felt both victorious and out of shape - after all, yesterday I managed only 15 seconds, so that's something...lol

    hee, hee, Google it. Don't feel bad not knowing, you're not alone, I had to google it last week to find out :blushing:

    My first attempt was a whole 10 seconds and I weight 190 lbs. One minute is super awesome! Gonna have to start practicing :wink:
