Fiddleman 4,376 Posted December 1, 2013 Oh my WOW!!! You are already at 300 seconds?!? GEAUX you! Of course, I know you are a fitness fanatic, unlike me, but that's still impressive. Thanks! I started doing planks about 8 months ago. 20 s was a long time. Over several months I surpassed 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 180 seconds. A few months later, I worked up to 300 seconds. Practice is what it takes. I started in same condition as everyone, but have found fitness to be enjoyable in a somewhat self enlightening manner. And the more time you dedicate towards it, the easier and more enjoyable it becomes. Does not happen over night!! So that is how I got to 300 s over several months. Now I want to stretch my goals more. 3 ReDbEaN, gamergirl and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southernsoul 773 Posted December 2, 2013 I did this last month with GG, and while I definitely saw improvement, I never got beyond about 95 seconds. However...to go from barely holding 20 secs to 95 secs in about 3 weeks was still a great achievement, at least in my opinion. I'm doing a different ab challenge this month, but will continue to plank in solidarity with y'all. Plank on, you sexy plankers!! 5 ReDbEaN, Fiddleman, sophiepants and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Globetrotter 1,340 Posted December 2, 2013 Today was day #1 of the Insanity workout (fml!) so I might as well plank too, in for a penny ... GG - did you notice any physical changes from planking? 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted December 2, 2013 Today was day #1 of the Insanity workout (fml!) so I might as well plank too, in for a penny ... GG - did you notice any physical changes from planking? I can't sat that I did, except that I could plank longer. But I don't think a month is long enough to see huge changes. Besides my body is changing so fast right now, it's hard to know what's causing what, you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReDbEaN 654 Posted December 2, 2013 I did my 2nd day of planks and added 5 seconds for a total of 25 seconds today:) 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
