Kathy, I'm ignoring you. Two 100 second planks. Argh! Bonnie Joe, you too. 150 seconds are just too hard to think about right now.

Steve & Chuck, I did it too! Sixty seconds. Hooray! Steve - hope you feel better soon!

Chris, I finally caught up with you, and you upped it. Egad!

Shelley, No more knuckle-dragging! Let's see those one-armed one-legged planks! Oh yeah, burn baby!

Mssheddy, Aren't we having fun! Yay!

I was able to do all sixty seconds today with straight arms and no incline and no breaks. Normal! OMG! Please excuse the giddiness. That was my first 60 second plank. I yelped with amazement when I collapsed. Fortunately that cat was not underneath me at the time.

Good health and strength to you all!
Paula

Paula I did some of them yesterday. :sad:

Kathy you are rocking! So proud of you.

Bonnie Jo, cut back a little. When your back feels stronger come on back like a hurricane! :drinker:

You all are doing great. Steve take care of that hip. If you need to decrease to keep the hip from hurting do so. You can always do more sets for less time and still get the benefits.

I must admit I killed my legs the other day. I am walking like a grandmother! Oh wait, I am one. :bigsmile:

So I am bowing out for today.

Shelley

Day 11 done...bring on day 12, 90 seconds....you shall not beat me! Bring it!!

lol...I'm trying to get my war face on for tomorrow :laugh:

Day 11 - done, no fun!

Got a 60, straight arm plank done this evening. Walked with husband and puppy for an hour. Windy but beautiful. You should see the stars tonight!

Chris

Day 12, 90 seconds complete on second attempt. Made a minute fifteen this morning, redid it at lunch today and made the full 90 seconds. Shoulders are not happy with me...lol!

Day 12 (offically this time.:laugh: :laugh: ) was completed early this morning. I did another straight arm today. Of course being a gluten for punishment, I went and did a 60 second on my elbows.:sad:

My shoulders, arms, and places I didn't don't even know I had are "screaming" at me.:laugh: :laugh: So that is good right??

I think it is a good thing. But I am weird that way. :drinker:

Paula I can walk again! Last night I did a Kelly Coffey Meyer DVD. It had two one minute straight arm planks. But with a twist. You got to do a one arm row during them. I used my 10 pound dumbbells. Next time I will wear gloves and use a 12 pound instead.

You guys are doing awesome. And Kathy when you have to skip this due to another workout that is awesome.

Shelley

My absence has been noted, eh??? So nice to be missed!!

On Tuesdays (and Wednesdays) I usually don't get to these until evening, and I don't get back on the computer afterwards to post in the community. I DO put them under 'strength' on my exercise log, so you can check up on me if you view my diary!! Uh oh, maybe I shouldn't have told you that....

So last night I DID do my 180 seconds. I was amazed that I was actually able to do it!!! Did first on elbows (that way I can read and try to ignore how slow the timer is counting down - yeah, doesn't work very well). Then rested a good hour (at least) and did the second straight-arm, which can bother my wrists a bit. Periodically on the 2nd one I'd shift to side planks to rest one or the other of my wrists and try to fool myself that it really wasn't that long. Not sure if I can do it again. We'll see. Will be post-Zumba tonight (was on Monday too) which may cause problems!

Good job everyone. This is killer.

Bonnie Jo

I completed day 11 this morning and day 12 this evening.

Day 11 - 110 seconds

Day 12 - 90 seconds

I did the evening plank after my workout at the gym...could not hit 110 seconds again.

I sometimes get that Paula. Not very often though. Hope yours stays gone even longer this time.

Well today I walked my darlings instead. And it was so much more fun than planking! :laugh: Ok, I will plank extra tomorrow. But I will not have to like it. :grumble:
