      Day 4 - done!
    • Posts: 6 Member
      I just finished planking, sat down in front of my computer and found your group. Would you add me please? And by the way, I've just begun. Today was Day 2 - 20 seconds. People may laugh at the short amount of time, but you really feel it. Looking forward to Day 30! Thanks -

      Just curious how everyone track what day you are up to - I thought of 1) writing it down 2) scroll up to check my last post.

      Appreciate if anyone can share their method of tracking. Thank you!

      I use a phone app that's the same as on here.

      Good morning fellow plankers! Just finished Day #3. I may be on the early side of this challenge, but I think planking could become sort of addictive. If anyone would like to hook up as Friends on myfitnesspal please let me know. Happy Friday!

      Thank you so much! What a great idea, I will try this too, just hope my phone has enough storage space.

      Day 2 completed. Still doing 1 in each of straight arm and bent arm, each 20 seconds. Not sure how long I can sustain this format but I will do my best!

      Day 6: Rest day. Thank goodness; I swam and lifted today. Which tends more to be followed by going to bed early, than planking. :wink:

      Day 3 done - finally! 30 seconds in each straight arm and bent arm.

      I didn't do any the last 2 days (Sat & Sun) as I was quite tired from riding my bike. Back at it today :#

      This might be a stupid question, but is it just one plank a day?

      Yes. One plank hold by following the chart each day. It's alot harder then I thought it would be.

      I missed a day so I caught up yesterday, day 5 complete. Frustrating....I couldn't do the straight 40 seconds, I had to take a rest after 20 so it was split. Argh! Rest day today....

      I'm on another site and they just count total plank time. Some can do a single plank for 2 minutes, other will split it out into 4 planks of 30 seconds. The OP originally said one plank, but frankly, with my lower back, I too may have to split out some of mine now that I'm up to 90 seconds (it about did me in). Still debating if I will stick on a day until I can do one for the full time, or if I will just keep moving through the days but split them into more manageable times given my limitation. I think you still get great benefit from doing them even if you have to split them but do the total time. And I'd rather being doing shorter ones and stick to doing them, than not do them at all because I couldn't do it all in one go. But to each his own.

      And I'm sort of curious if the OP has finished the challenge since I've not seen her post for a while. I'm thinking that final 5 minutes of planking is going to be super brutal if done in one session.

      I'm going to start doing this every other day, with my regular lifting. I can't lift three times a week, swim five times a week, and plank everyday. Maybe I'm too old. :wink:

      Thanks. Good job! The first time I did a plank, I could've sworn the devil himself came up with the idea.
