So good to push ourselves out of our comfort zone.
I know I am weak when it comes to the core so I am taking this One Month Plank Challenge - All Welcome !

    Out of curiosity, are you going to do this on your hands (arms locked) or were you thinking of doing this on your elbows?

    If you're able to add me to this challenge, I'm interested in taking it on :)

    I'm in. I paddleboard, but I always need to work on my core in other ways to keep it strong for when I'm not paddling. Will try to post daily, or I won't do it.

    Day 1 Done! 20 seconds. (and I actually added an extra 40 seconds so I could long it here...dang, why can't you log less than a minute for an exercise...so limited).

    I will join! I actually do the same position as the picture above. Does the challenge expect X seconds in one go? Or total for the day?

    Day 2 - 20 seconds - Done! (actually did 30 seconds x 2 today, so I could log 1 minute guilt free with the app)

    webbz92 - I started shaking today after only 10 seconds...so you are doing better than me!

    chickboy0 - I don't know that it matters...my personal goal is to try to do at least the required amount at one time, though I may change my tune once we get up over a minute or so and may have to intentionally break it down into smaller sets that get totaled together.

    Congrats Orphia...are you continuing to do them?

    Oh wow, 5 minutes is a huge leap hahaha. Well I am already up to a minute, so I guess i'll start around that mark and aim for 90 seconds in a few days.

    Made it to a minute today. Could have gone longer but gonna stick with the timeline. Just wanted to see if I could still make it that long at least! Full plank on the hands, not the elbows.

    Good question!

    I've been doing 5 minute planks 6 days on, one day off, since I finished the challenge, but I'm going to start doing them every other day, because I think the muscles need a day to repair and grow.

    I also run 4 days a week and do at least 20,000 steps every day, so I think I'm erring on the side of caution and was overdoing it.

    Good luck, all.
