Were you watching me? Ha! I plank 3 minutes at a pop, but only if I am distracted with my phone.

Variants are to hold your plank, step out to the side with one foot, then bring the other foot to the same side, back to middle one foot at a time and then out to the other side. 15 x per side.

Or, start from the arms bent position, go up to arms straight, hold, back down to arms bent, repeat. 15 x.

Start from arms straight, "walk" out with one arm about 6 inches, follow with other arm and walk back. 15 x.

Lots of other additions, too. They are killer on your abs, but butt down!

Ok you are good! 20 seconds in and I'm doubting I can make it. How long was it before you saw results (please say 2 days :)

Ok just started a thread in the a Fitness section called Planking Challenge!

Hello Jess

Can you add a link to the thread. I use the app and can not find it.

Thanks

Yes, two days. Ripped abs, flat stomach, tight ass. Ha! Planks are very effective. Try doing it 10-15 times a day working up to a total time of 15 minutes a day in position. (Total, not all at once!)

I just had a Tummy Tuck, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation 3 weeks ago, but I can't wait till my surgeon clears me to do ab work!! I will definitely be doing the plank challenge along with squats!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
