October Shredders!!! 2nd Mini Challenge (closed group)

Goooooooood Morning October Shredders!!!!

So day 2 of our mini challenges! (please dont hate me!)

As some of you may know, my abs split during pregnancy, and though i had managed to close the gap quite a lot, my recent bout of sit ups and crunches were making the gap much larger. So i am now doing planks to replace all of Jillians ab work. I started yesterday and already my gap is now the smallest it has ever been! These exercises are great for both men and women. They are most affective the longer you do it for, rather than doing several per minute.

So onto the Plank Challenge!! Here is how to do a basic plank: Start in a push-up position, 'real' not modified) but keep your hands directly under your shoulders instead of outside your chest. Legs are extended straight behind you, with feet together. Drop down onto your forearms (You are balancing on your forearms and the balls of your feet) and Hold this position for as long as you can!

The challenge is quite simply, who can hold the position the longest!

A few things to remember: keep your eyes focussed on the ground infront of you, and make sure your bum is not up in the air. Shaking is good, it means it's working!!

You can have as many try's as you like!

And we can record our times in the database. Just delete and re-enter with each go you have.

If you are finding this position too easy, let me know and I will give you the intermediate position!

So that's the second challenge peeps!

Best of luck!
