Yesterday I noticed for the first time the impact on the core when you adopt the proper position. Lower back should not hurt!
Also learnt recently that shaking is a good sign, as it means that you engage the muscles!
Happy to see more people join! Welcome @mamabear4ever1177 :flowerforyou:1 -

Can't figure out the editing process on this, either it's unlike any community I've been with or I'm missing something. Helpful hints please?0

@mamabear4ever1177 you are able to “edit” a post for an hour. There should be a button in upper right for that. For a new post I usually copy my previous post then add to it. Hope this helps.0 -

This was so hard this morning. Not sure if I can do a plank over 20 seconds. Is it okay if I break my daily goal into two smaller planks? I would rather modify than throw in the towel.
Definitely don't give up! You've made a great start. There's no judgement here - just do what you can. 2 x 15 seconds is good. You will be suprised how quickly you improve. 3 x 15 seconds then 3 x 20 seconds and that's a minute.1 -

After reading 5 Rules for Better Planks from the MFP blog it was more difficult to complete my plank challenge for the day.
Goal: Beginner Plank Challenge
Nov.6 90sec(2x15)full,elbw,side
Nov.7 120sec(2x20)full,elbw,side
Nov.8 80sec (1x20)full,elbw,side
Also read "Are you holding planks too long?" and according to that length of time is not as important as form and strength which can diminish with longer planks.1 -
