    Planks are really great for the core, did TNT Training recently and discovered how weak my core was. The coach made us hold for 60 sec.. Exhausting! But I'll go for it.

    I think I want to try this. Only one way to improve and that is to practice practice practice.. (or just do them)

    That's alright. My first plank ever was like 22 seconds. You will get better fast.

    thanks for your welcome AlciaMode.

    planks are a lot harder than they look and something I'd never really taken seriously before - will be doing Day 16 in an hour or so.

    I've just discovered this challenge today and I have just started it! Will be fun :)

    I had already done some planks last weeks on a different home workout routine, so I'm not new to them, but definitely not trained either. My baseline was 55 seconds of pain + 5 final seconds of pure agony :disappointed:

    it's amazing how quickly you'll find your time going up if you keep at it. good form is important - make sure you squeeze your glutes and keep your spine straight. good luck.
