OK, never done a plank before in my life, managed about 40 seconds! I'm quite pleased with that but will be practicing now to see what I can get it too....0

First time I did planking, I did 2 minutes. Started getting wobbly around 1:30 though.0

Just over 2 minutes. I'll add this to my workout now!0

I think you now hole the "unofficial" MFP record.0 -
Today, when I taught Pilates, we decided to try something different. We went around the room and everyone did a movie review while we held the plank. It was amazingly easier.0

Oh, and I posted this somewhere else, but only my good MFP, John responded, but my 62 year old female client did 5 minutes yesterday no problem. Yay her!0
-
I'm definitely going to try this tomorrow AM. Sounds like a full body workout.0
-
I just did it for 32.7 seconds. At about 26 seconds i thought I was going to die, but I pushed through.
That's pretty impressive to me considering my right shoulder joint is totally toast (starting PT next week, yay!)0 -
Max 1 min, 30 sec and I felt like my body was going to vibrate my fillings loose.0
