:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I guess I'm the first today....I don't have a full time jog outside of my house so it's easier for me to get to the computer.

I added 5 seconds today so my plank was 65 seconds :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    these planks are killing me first time I remembered to do it before the elliptical... ( had to go full tilt here since time is crunching!):angry:

    best plank time now wondering if it is causing my neck crick!! did 1 min 50 sec and thought I was gonna collapse...:sad:

    should we be going for time or quantity?? Is it better to have shorter plank times but do them more often... :huh:
    can someone help out with this?? Middle of the month... wow! 15 plank days left... or maybe creating that 3 weeks to a habit.... that is how I got hooked on MFP!!

    Quality is definitely important. Keep your butt out of the air :) My personal trainer wants me to do them with a broom stick on my back and make sure I have a neutral spine. On the other hand, as long as it hurts, you're gaining something.
