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 -
40 sec done0

That's what I'm doing too, thought cos I was on holiday it should be easy, well it's not. I haven't exercised properly for 2 months, excuses all the way, so my own fault but I am getting there:))0 -

I dont understand what everyone finds so difficult in a plank.
So you don't need this challenge then? Cool!0 -
Hope everyone's having fun with the Plank's. Remember proper form is key!!!!!!!! LOW PLANK, ensure your shoulders are aligned with your elbows, your hips aren't bowed, FLAT BACK!!!!! HIGH PLANK, all the above except your shoulders are aligned with your wrist!!!!!
