Welcome Ramoth480

I'm in too -- I'll do the same catch up plan as Ramoth48.0
-
50 seconds today, the same as yesterday. I could do longer, but I'm going to aim for consistency.0

I'm in, too! I used to be able to hold a plank all day long...I'll be lucky to do 20 seconds now. I'm excited to get it back.
I think the actual record for holding a plank is slightly over 3 minutes.0 -
Day 5 - I have 40 seconds.
Keep it up folks!0 -
I tried and failed.
Can't hold more than 2-3seconds
So I did 10 of them..
Tell me ill get better if I try everyday?
You WILL get better if you try every day. You are approaching this the right way - 10 sets of 2-3 seconds will soon become 5 sets of 6, 2 sets of 15 and so on until you are holding just one set for the duration. Just keep doing your bit every day; you'll get there.
edit: "I tried and failed." - NO! you didn't fail because you TRIED!0 -
Playing catch up for the weekend today.
20 sec done.
Will do 2 x 30 sec before the end of the work day!0 -

I do planks most every day and done so for the last 20 months. I started at 1 minute, and have worked my way to 2, but 90 seconds is good enough most days. I still find the side planks much harder and haven't been able to progress beyond 45-50 seconds, which probably should tell me something.0 -

^This^ Side planks are much harder because they only use stabilitzing muscles. I mean, how often do you really use your obliques? I have dificulty with them too, but it is worth it because side planks work an entirely different set of musculature.0 -
