    Day 9 --completed the 60 second... as mssheddy did another later this afternoon.....wow what a feeling. Shaking about 45 or so but held it to make 60 seconds.

    Not looking forward to the 90 second one.

    Great job...I'm chasing you and Shelley.

    Today I could only do 2 sets of 60 second planks. Yesterday I did one 1:45 second plank. It must have been the hour walk this afternoon.

    Tomorrow is another day! I will get to 2 minutes!!

    I love reading all your posts. The "why's" the shakes, and I did its. Love them all. And let's not forget the put it off until bedtime! Lol that was me. I was to lazy to do them twice. Are we supposed to be doing them twice? I really think we are all just doing what we can and to heck with the numbers.

    I did my superwoman ones. Once on each side. I can hold my left arm out longer than my right arm. But around 45 seconds per side. Done.

    Kathy that was an awesome 1:45 yesterday.

    Chuck hang in there. We are all at different levels. Anyone who can garden and keep a salt water tank going can do this. Chuck you have the rest of your life to do this. And planks are great for what ails you. :smokin:

    Knuckle dragger here. I can hear you calling us beasts. Sniffle sniffle. Hurts my little feelers. Did I mention I sweat, shake, and have to use a mat? Hurts my elbows if I don't. :sad:

    I remember my first plank. It was in a body pump class. It started out great. Two seconds later I was asking "why". :sad: But people were watching! :noway: I had to hang in there. I made it to five seconds! I was straining by now. I saw a light. My towel! :blushing: Yes I fell to the floor and acted like I had to wipe the sweat out of my eyes. :laugh: A few more sets like the first one and I was done. I wonder if anyone knew I was faking the towel wiping? :smokin:

    I managed one 90 second plank today. It was supposed to be 60 seconds, but I upped it. No superwoman...just regular Chris planks...straight armed on my toes. That's it!! I'm having a REST DAY tomorrow, so I'll be back on Tuesday!

    Have a great Monday!

    Day 10 - complete....was able to do a 60 second on my elbows. Not sure I changed my form or not but my hip is bothering me today after doing it. (I have a bad hip to begin with.)

    No plans to do a second one today after work with the way the hips feels now.

    Day 10 - 60 second plank completed, one continuous with no breaks. It’s a good thing it wasn’t a 61 second plank, the old bridge was starting to collapse.

    I'm on day 21 and it's killing me! :sad: Yesterday evening I managed to hang in there on elbows for my first one (150 seconds) but had to drop to knees a couple of times on the 2nd. Kills my back!! Then this morning I couldn't even do one all the way through without dropping to knees a couple of times! :frown: Maybe, MAYBE I'll try a second one today, after several hours of rest.

    And I'm supposed to bump it up another 30 seconds tomorrow? Seriously?? ACK!!! :noway: Impossible!! :noway:

    So they don't see a pattern, use the old muscle cramp, that always works.
