    Wow. I was so much better last night, but it made me so sore. This morning I could only get to 1:22. I'll try again this evening.

    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. :)

    I think I would puke if I tried to make it to 7 minutes.

    I was at 46 seconds... :sad:

    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:

    Today we did planks in my gym class. I was 2:03 yesterday. Today, in class, I made it like 0:47ish.... but as my excuse, after all that working out I was exhausted.. maybe tonight I will get back up to 2 minutes!

    Ok Zara......I will play along. I have been working on my planks........front, and now I am working on side planks.

    I am AMAZED at how quickly I built up from 5 seconds to 1 minute.

    The side planks must be done correctly or you can hurt your neck. Now I have just started these, and need my arm to push me up! But MAN did my sides hurt the next day, so I must be working.

    Thanks for the challenge Zara!!

    I will post later when I have done mine for the night!:drinker:

    I can do side planks for a minute on both sides... no more!

    We did those in class today... but we have to "pulse" instead of holding still. Ugh.

    55 seconds. I think I could have gone longer but I starting to think about farting even though I didn't have to and got the giggles. I'll do it again tomorrow!

    I like this challenge! Thanks Zara!
