Take the plank challenge
 
Let's do this people! Well, at least Aliantha should do it with me. We'll take that 20 seconds to 5 minutes in 30 days. :D

I'm in ... just did my 20 sec Day 1. :)

Gravdigr 11-06-2013 03:16 PM

I did it. Today.

Even got complimented on how straight my back was.:)

Lola Bunny 11-06-2013 03:21 PM

Yay! 40 seconds, day 4 for me. :-)

Gravdigr 11-06-2013 03:26 PM

Showoff.

Lola Bunny 11-06-2013 10:22 PM

Haha....you'll be able to do 40 secs on the fourth day too. ;-)

I started about a week ago. I learned not to do it in socks on carpet.

The model in the picture looks to have terrible form to me, back and belly are rounded, sagging, and the way her ankles aren't square. Don't what the correct form is, but that doen't look good for your back.

EDIT:

indeed, terrible form

in fact here is the same pic used as an exmaple of bad form!

I did have this on my initial workout schedule I was given, but it was 30 seconds, rest, then do it again. I haven't tried it in a while I'll have ago later and see where I am up to.

just start at day 1. it's not just about how long, it's the how often also.

Just checked, today is day 11 for me. oops. evidently I am not very good at keeping count. I've missed three days so far, including yesterday and Tuesday :(. I think I'm just pre-enjoying my "rest" days.

I'm going to call this day 9 instead of day 11 and go from there

What the hell. I'm gonna find some space under my desk where I can try this.

I'll probably forget and just do it when I see this thread as a reminder.

20 seconds huh? Let's see how this goes.

...

I wouldn't say it was hard, but it was more tiring than I expected. Shit, I'm out of shape.

Gravdigr 11-07-2013 12:19 PM

Day 2 - 20 seconds


ETA: I wouldn't do this right after eating lunch. Not again, anyway...

Before, or, after the blood draw?

glatt 11-07-2013 12:44 PM

Before. But I did just take a brisk walk outside. I gotta have my lunch time walk, or I just turn into a sloth-like lump of jello plopped in my chair for the rest of the day.

Besides, where else am I going to have a toothless guy asking me where some street is that I never heard of before?

**Goes off to Google maps to look for Terrorist street. Or maybe Terrace street.**

I thought this was going to be about quantum theory.

i am disappoint.
