Side planks are on my list to work on this month. Working on leg raise planks and transitioning from basic to forearm during my 2 min planks. Mixing it up a bit anyway.0

Heck, I just started doing Plank last month. You're doing awesome! I'm hoping to get up there soon. The workout is one I actually found after reading an article about Plank provided by @serenade_N.

You know what's funny, I had found a plank challenge on you tube I was going to share here, but far prefer this poster.
I will share it anyway as its pretty cool to have options. And I think some of the instructions help build on the quality of planks. Here it is. https://youtu.be/O1Ge7uGpjFY1 -

I will try some side planks mixed in this weekend. I have some lower back issues (as in previously herniated discs, and one previously partially removed) so it might not happen. It really just depends on whether or not the weight on my lower spine on my side is painful or not. Last time I tried them I quickly gave up and went back to forearm planks. But my core is much stronger now, so will give it another shot.4 -

Oh crap, that hurt!
Well that's Day 2 of doing the plank workout straight through. I guess if anything it does build character.
@Spliner1969 I hope your back is good.
@135terry great job!
@Serenade_N I like the video, but I'm going to do this for another week first.3 -

Courages Spliner!
Would halving the lift in body weight by placing knees on floor help alleviate any previous pain? Doing this perhaps may familiarise the lower back and core and introduce flexibility. Sounds like you've got this.2 -
