    What is a EMI Wong 10 minute plank?

    I googled it and found on YouTube. I only lasted 4 first 45 sec intervals, but think that it's ok for the first attempt. I will practise.

    Had a moment this afternoon at work when I realized I had forgot to try on a plank today. No time like the present, I thought, and went to the ground right there and then.

    Sure will be happy when I get better at this.
    Thirty seconds feels embarrassing. 🙄

    Have you tried alternating the type of planks? Side planks give me the chance to recharge? You can also try to take short breaks, say 30 sec and then resume.

    @dewit That’s a good idea - cuz the side hip dip planks were easier for some reason. I will try out a small mixed routine this weekend. 👍

    It's hard to stay motivated when I know that after Tuesday I shall be weak as a kitten and won't be able to do any exercise for weeks - months before I'm back to my current level of activities.

    Dedicated some of my morning to a yoga workout that was heavy on the planks. Learned -for me- which ones are easiest ( rotating side to side planks) and which are hardest ( straight time-in-hell elbow planks).

    Think I am gonna give up on the mini goals since it’s not working for me.. and just try to beat my Jan total in February ( cuz this activity is obviously a must for my own core improvement goals).
