    i'm in too, will be starting with beginner planks, how long do you hold one plank for? what exercise can you log them as?

    You can determine the time based on your level ranging from 30 seconds to 3 mins+. Pick a time and stick with it for the week though and report to the group how long you are holding.

    I log this under Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort.


    I am new to this and totally didn't think about the sugar in fruits. So I am going to say you can pick between the sugar or change that challenge to 8+ glasses of water a day.

    I'm going to watch my sugar count, but subtract the natural sugar from my fruits and veggies.

    how long do you have to hold each plank for for it to be counted as one?
    YIKES! This is the first thing that immediately came to my mind too!

    I'm in too! Will attempt 30-sec planks. I already hurt just thinking about these! And, as sugar is not one of the things that my MFP is set to track, I will make my nutrition goal be the water one of 8+ glasses/cups per day.

    Ok so it was the first time attempting planks last night! (Mon night in NZ) Ended up doing 15, I did 3 sets of 5 throughout the day but there were long gaps in-between each 5! As it was my first time I just did 30seconds and I have to say that was such a challenge, I was shaking like crazy towards the end - but am so glad I did it! :)

    Unfortunately I was over by 20 with my sugar, but the stink thing is that it was all from fruit!
    Is it ok to let myself have more because it is just coming from fruit?

    I did 30 second planks spaced out through the day. And i did go over on my sugar for a little bit but my workout compensated for it. I think Im also going to track my water intake as well. Hope everyone had a good first day!

    I'm in on the plans, but not sure about the food challenge. I have been tracking my sugar and am consistently over. Mostly because I eat so much fruit, I have really managed to cut down my sugar treats over the past month. How do you guys differentiate between fruit sugars and refined sugars???
