Who wants to join me for a 30 day plank challenge? We all know the core is important, so here’s something I think you will love! Performing the plank not only stabilises your core but also works oblique areas, strengthens your back and thighs but also gives you an arm workout.
Here is the schedule I will be following starting tonight.
Day 1 & Day 2 = 20 seconds
Day 3 & Day 4 = 30 seconds
Day 5 = 40 seconds
Day 6 = REST Day <<< make sure you do rest, it’s as important as the workout itself!
Day 7 = Day 8 = 45 seconds
Day 9, Day 10 & Day 11 = 60 seconds / 1 minute
Day 12 = 90 seconds / 1 minute 30 seconds
Day 13 = REST Day!
Day 14 & Day 15 = 90 seconds / 1 minute 30 seconds
Day 16 & Day 17 = 120 seconds / 2 minutes
Day 18 = 150 seconds / 2 minutes 30 seconds
Day 19 = TAKE A REST
Day 20 & Day 21 = 150 seconds / 2 minutes 30 seconds
Day 22 & Day 23 = 180 seconds / 3 minutes
Day 24 & Day 25 = 210 seconds / 3 minutes 30 seconds
Day 26 = REST, you deserve it.
Day 27 & Day 28 = 240 seconds / 4 minutes
Day 29 = 270 seconds / 4 minutes 30 seconds
Day 30 = 300 seconds / 5 minutes!
I'll post a reminder every day. Feel free to check in and let us know how you are doing, do we can all hold eachother accountable!

How was everyones first day? I'll admit it was harder then I thought (never having done a plank before). I only lasted 10 sec then had to do another 10 sec. But that's the point of this, to build up our core strength!2 -

Day 2 complete.
What type of plank is everyone doing? I'm beginning with the forearm plank because that's the one I'm comfortable with. I'm hoping to be able to change that up though at some point.1 -
I'm in. Tried this once before and didn't get beyond 2 minutes if that, but heck that's way better than 0.2

late to the party so to speak...so I did 1-5 days on the 6th to catch up... hehehe! today was a challenge (9th day) not sure if just as it was now 60 seconds or if it also has something to do with the bad fall I took on kitchen tile floor 2 days ago, but I did a total of 60 seconds plus just had to break it up into 3 smaller times... oh well I guess it counts...and will keep going.
Have a GREAT day everyone.3
