SharynF Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I managed 68 seconds, had a 30 second rest and did another 45 seconds. Disappointed to have failed the challenge as set down but OK as I am on Day 2 of a new Whole30 and feeling a bit empty. I am also able to plank for more than a minute which I couldn't do 2 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Blimey, nearly forgot! Though we did do a reverse plank in yoga this morning... Off to rectify the situation right now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 ......and done Sharyn, we're still hanging in there! I think distraction is the key, not watching the clock... If i recall rightly from a previous plank challenge i took part in a couple of years back, there was a bloke who downloaded movie trailers to his phone to watch while he planked!

SharynF Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yesterday was my first failure. I managed 75 seconds and then a rather feeble 25 seconds after a minute rest. But it was only a couple of hours after a big steak supper and I was ready for bed. Will try to get today's done before I eat supper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharynF Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 I managed two @ 60 seconds. They are getting harder each day, not sure why. But I am determined not to go below 60 seconds as I have managed 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 2 minutes done The first minute was hard, then i was kind of ok for 40 seconds or so... Aaand the last bit was super wobbly An extra half a minute tomorrow, yikes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Keep remembering the bloke i heard of who could plank for 17 minutes I'd get bored i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharynF Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Keep remembering the bloke i heard of who could plank for 17 minutes I'd get bored i think I think there is a school of thought that says that any longer than a couple of minutes is a waste of time. Better off doing several shorter planks. For 17 minutes your abs would be in tip top condition and not need it. In my dreams............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharynF Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I totally failed on this. I managed 60 seconds had a rest and just couldn't get up into another plank. Felt very wobbly and shaky afterwards. Will try again tomorrow morning in case time of day makes a difference. Not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Managed 150 seconds but it was hard work! You wouldn't think planking would raise a sweat Looking forward to tomorrow's rest day. I reckon you should take your rest day too Sharyn - try for the 150 again the day after x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharynF Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I am giving this a miss today. My husband has an appointment at a chest pain clinic and I am worried about it - it is affecting my sleep and mental stability! I will be back as I would really like to succeed at this challenge and giving up totally half way through won't help me do a whole W30 Plank in January or February will it?
