Happy New Year

This is the place for your planking and isometric challenges.

If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to planking and isometric exercises, we welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, we welcome you, too.

There are no set challenges - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group.

Just pick the target that you would like to achieve this month and post updates throughout the month as you work toward your target.

If you are new to planking it is a good idea to start with as little as 10 or 15 seconds and build up over time.

Here's a 30 Day Beginner Plank Challenge:

Feel free to share your variations and challenges.


Happy planking!

    @murdog3t , I used to be nearly religious about getting 10k + steps daily, now my goal is 7000, although 4 days a week I do 20k, and today my main focus was on the strength workout, so steps are just over 4K. I’m not bothered about that, I have done what I wanted to do.
