Great Alipsie! I'm not one for befriending pain. Prefer natural post exercise ache or DOMs. Much a believer of pacing and prevention. Trx sounds mega!

Aye I agree. This is exactly what I understand that this article suggests. If I do find anything in regards to duration and effectiveness I shall share here. This is pretty exciting stuff though!

AYE I wasn't clear. I meant as I haven't been practicing it I wonder whether my body ....and mind was still up to it. You know as soon as I've typed that-I'm thinking I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow before or after plank workout With a sensible rest period in between.

Above is an evidence based article published in 2015. The effectiveness of a good form plank is found to be increased by the instability introduced…

Ps can someone enlighten me as to the pictures of the man planking between two camels in previous chats?-ah mazing!!!

Thanks b3achy and alipsie19! Alipsie-that doubling up to a min each position...rock on man!!

From what you've shared, that is sensible not to carry out a side plank that brings on twinge pain. Would recommend seeing a physical therapist/sports medic for clarity of boundaries.

Alipsie - I totes enjoy the plank workout too. It's like a little plank choreography going in there. Anytime 135terry!

Courages Spliner! Would halving the lift in body weight by placing knees on floor help alleviate any previous pain? Doing this perhaps may familiarise the lower back and core and introduce flexibility. Sounds like you've got this.

You know what's funny, I had found a plank challenge on you tube I was going to share here, but far prefer this poster. I will share it anyway as its pretty cool to have options. And I think some of the instructions help build on the quality of planks. Here it is. https://youtu.be/O1Ge7uGpjFY
