    I have only started planks recently but have seen much improvement in my core strength. I think doing them daily for the next month will be great. I'm really excited to see how this goes. Have a great month everyone.

    [...] this really is a challenge when you dont typically do this daily, but Im trying to be more consistent

    I totally agree! The first day I started I realized I could only do short increments, so I’ve been doing 20 to 45 seconds per plank to get the total time I want to reach my goal. Check the “spoiler” below to see my usual pattern. I sometimes add an extra side plank set or if I just want to rack up easier minutes then I do more elbow planks. Works for me! Good luck to you!
