    March 11: 1 min (1x20 sec interval; 2x15 sec intervals) I pushed for the extra 5 secs on the first interval. I have to be honest and admit that I had no idea planks were so hard! Thanks Alzzi76 for the support!
    **Just realized I forgot my 1x10 sec interval on March 11th.**
    March 12: 1 min 20 sec (2x10 sec intervals; 3x20 sec intervals) That extra 20 secs were killer, but I know I am going to have to pick it up in order to make my 30 mins for the month.

    That's ok, i had others help me too, very kindly.

    I think spliner1969, the leader, is busy on a business trip and cant check in as often as he used to and would like..

    All the best, you are doing great so far.! :)

    It is amazing after doing planks for a while that they still are so difficult! LOL! I am getting a much stronger core though. Happy planks Y'all! :)

    I've been doing them for going on 2 years, and most of that doing 120-180minutes a month or more. They are still tough. I think that's why I like them so much. Even pushups get easier over time so you do more, planks do to an extent but they use so many different muscles in your core, arms, shoulders, and even legs that it's an exercise that's tough to beat.
