...please play or I'll feel like a fool. Post a note that you'll play and then edit it with your time!
Since I have the time to sit here posting, I'm going to go hold a plank - good form, please! Watch that butt! - for as long as possible.
I DARE you to do the same.
If you're reading this/ reading the comments, you clearly have time time. 5 seconds is better than 0, so what are you waiting for?
Let's post times, and keep up a challenge.

I'll play...
I've been taking a boot camp class in the mornings and part of our assessment every four weeks is seeing how long we can hold the plank (butt down is a must!).
Last Friday, I held my plank for 7 minutes, 5 seconds! The record is just over 8 minutes, so that's my goal.

It shows you how strong your core is. A strong core is key to a strong body.0 -

SEVEN MINUTES? Holy crud. My two minutes look like... child play. I must work on that. Perhaps, five second intervals every night or so.
And this is just for fun/ to get us off the computer for a few minutes. Or seconds. :flowerforyou:0 -
1:51 is pretty darn good maybe in an hour, or tomorrow, you can add another :05 :flowerforyou: 0

You rock. You get like 10 minutes for making me laugh... but lost 1 minute because my tummy hurts wayyy too much right now to laugh!
Do it tomorrow! And sounds like you had a blast today!
Also... if the planks are too easy/you want something different (I don't know if these are actually easier or harder), try these: http://www.fitsugar.com/32691370 -

Tell your son to try it... I make my seven year old little brother join in when he makes comments, and he always ends up taking back what he said! :laugh:0 -

Give me a second, and I'll post after I've timed myself.
Maybe I should go the bathroom first....

I think I would puke if I tried to make it to 7 minutes.
I was at 46 seconds... :sad:0 -

Holy Cow!!! 35 seconds last night, 42 seconds this morning.... :grumble: it is WAAAYYY harder than it looks, and I am waaaay out of shape. lol I want to see how long it takes me to get to 2 minutes. I'm gonna log my tries under strength training.... thanks for the challenge! Definitely something I can do throughout the day, especially when playing on the floor with our little guy. :happy:0
