Planks everyday for a month - Join me!

[Plankingplanks]

Hello

Does anyone fancy joining me in trying to tone up by doing planks? I've started today with 3x 20 second planks. I aim to build up to a minute each one over the next few weeks. I'm interested to see the results over a few months.

Join at your own pace, if you can do 3x 5 second ones then join me too!!

Still going here too. I try not to miss more than 2 days or I find it hard to get back into the habit

It's hard work in warm weather though isn't it!

It's hard work full stop!!

But I do feel better for doing them- mentally and physically.

I've been MIA for a while (just checked... 19th May! That's flew...)
Impressed at everybody still here!

Although I've done the odd 2+ min plank in my workouts, I've fell off the plank wagon.
However I did a 3 min one at my weights session this morning, with a 5kg weight on my back for the last 45 seconds, so I'm back and i'm going to keep it up 🙌🏼 (for a week anyway, as I go away next week!)

Welcome back @fflorenceandthemac im still here but been a bit Lax this week. Had to jump out of bed at 11pm last night and bang one out quickly as I forgot and the day before. I'm off on holiday tomorrow so will get back to it once I've arrived!!

Well done @VelvetThunder keep up the good work!!

Have a fab holiday @Plankingplanks

Thanks @florenceandthemac early start in the morning.... Hope I can sleep on the plane!!

Family holidays are so stressful!

I agree. I go away next week, and trying to get everything done at work in advance of this holiday means I am working round the clock. It's so hard! Hopefully it's worth it

I haven't done any for a week. I've damaged my right ankle somehow and have had to rest it. It's frustrating because I've also had to avoid the gym. Hopefully it should be OK soon.

Hope your ankle is ok soon @L1ttledrummergirl

Also still here, planking away!

Thank you @Plankingplanks ☺️have a good holiday!
Had a much better and more productive week this week for planks. Have pretty much been able to do them all with the odd little hiccup. Hoping I can really stick to it again and see some results soon.

@AHugeTinyMistake thank you. Hopefully it will.

As if you needed further motivation for doing planks, it's official, planks and wall squats are best exercises for lowering blood pressure.

I've been meaning to do some wall sits. Perhaps this is the motivation I need!

Hello strangers!!! I'm back from my holidays where I duly did fuck all planks!!

Back to it today is the plan. @LL1ttledrummergirl how is the foot?

😂😂😂

I could do with joining this thread, I keep meaning to get a plank habit but rarely remember, apart from any in my weekly Pilates class. Which due to holidays (mine and instructor's) I probably won't be doing throughout august. And it's the first tomorrow ...

Welcome @EErrolTheDragon come do a plank with us.... Just about to do my second one

@Plankingplanks - are planning to do a wall sit challenge next? 🤣
They are meant to be really good for us... 😎

@PaminaMozart im not sure I like you!!! 🤣

Your calves and thighs have to be at a right angle......... and your back against the wall...😍

I'm going to start wall sits tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder @PaminaMozart

@Plankingplanks what have you done to me, I've started my 30 day plank challenge again - for the third time 😂

3x30sec planks... it's a start.

Lol @AHugeTinyMistake it appears you made a huge tiny mistake joining this thread!! 🤣

Well done @ErrolTheDragon

Ok @PaminaMozart i shall add it in.... At this rate I'll be doing an entire exercise regime before bed!! 🤣

😎@Plankingplanks ........ though you'll be swearing 😆

Seriously though: exercises that enhanced my fitness more than anything include:

Planks
Crunches
Situps
And..............wall sits

Plus weights, obviously. Love Ms Girvan!
