SharynF 426 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 PLANK CHALLENGE - DAY 9 A big jump today to 60 seconds GO!!!!!!! (and good luck!) Link to post Share on other sites
SharynF 426 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 DONE! In one hit with not too many wobbles. I am really surprising myself here Link to post Share on other sites
Roz Griffiths 715 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 60 second plank done. Same again tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
Greek to me 164 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yesterday was my rest today. I was hesitant to rest because the day before was a struggle. But I wanted to listen to the plan and not do my own thing. Today I went to do my 45 seconds. After 20 my low back starting popping so I stopped. Got up again. This time after 30 the popping happened. Up again. This time about 7 seconds. I finally said uncle. This is the most common problem I have with plank. Anyone want to give me any pointers as to what I may be doing wrong? It doesn't hurt...but it feels really weird. I do try and make sure that I'm not bowed and that I'm into lower transverse muscles so that I'm working the right area rather than my back. Link to post Share on other sites

Without seeing you it would be hard to pinpoint any issues! I tuck my bum under, and kind of tense it? That might protect my back, it feels stronger when I do? Link to post Share on other sites
Greek to me 164 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes-I tuck and tense. No improvement. Maybe if I just keep doing it until I feel close to popping it will eventually improve. Sigh....frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites
Roz Griffiths 715 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 My back also pops if i do stuff like fall sit ups or v-sits. Sometimes it hurts after, sometimes not. So far so good with the planking though... I've always assumed it was a weak core thing, so I'm hoping planks will help! Link to post Share on other sites
SharynF 426 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Day 10 60 seconds GO!!

I have yet to do yesterday's challenge as I spent most of the day at A&E with my husband who woke up with chest pains Other things on my mind as you will understand. So I will attempt 60 secs this morning and then 90 (NINETY???????????) this evening to catch up. Link to post Share on other sites
Roz Griffiths 715 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 90 seconds done - Oof Sharyn, i hope your husband's feeling better Link to post Share on other sites
SharynF 426 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Wey hey!! 90 seconds on first attempt so I am not going to worry about catching up with yesterday's missing 60secs. I'll do one on the next rest day instead. Roz - hubby is ok apart from a very dull ache in his chest which is currently unexplained. Waiting for an OP appointment for more tests Link to post Share on other sites
