    question: are forearm planks generally harder for everyone? They totally wipe me out. I finally hit one of my mini goals doing the high plank, but a minute at forearm feels like its never going to happen

    Generally yes they put more stress on the arms and on the core. Just keep them up, it'll get easier. I do mixed planks to make sure I'm doing every type each workout.

    @enyagoboom YES! I thought I was the only one. I'm doing forearm ones for this challenge, and the shaking starts SO much sooner than when I do the high planks.

    8/1: 15 seconds
    8/2: 3 x 20 seconds - was feeling planky this morning
    8/3: 20 seconds
    8/4: 30 seconds
    8/5: Rest
    8/6: 35 seconds
    8/7: 40 seconds
    8/8: 40 seconds
    4:00/26:55 completed

    Yup, they're harder for me too. I can do 1 minute forearm planks, but it's much harder to hold than the full arm planks. Those last few seconds are pure torture right now.

    8/7- 3 minutes
    8/8- 3 minutes

    I'm a new arrival. Still getting started. We're 10 days into August so I'll set myself a 40 minutes target for end of month.
    What do you think? WML!

    Keep at it and don't give up. I was doing these challenges consistently and stopped more than a month ago. Right back at it now and can do a one minute plank right off the bat. Just don't give up! :) 2 X 30 secs will get you there!!
