So lovely to have you join us, bev! Hey the more the merrier!

I decided yesterday to try doing one (toes and forearms) and managed a grand total of 7 seconds!  But for those 7 seconds, I felt my abs like never before in my life. Obviously I have next to zero core body strength. So I'm setting myself a goal of getting to the point where I can hold a 90 second plank.
This morning tho, I could not even get myself into full plank position. Abs hurt too much! So I did a modified version (knees and palms) and managed 24 seconds. I think I'd better stick with modified for awhile till I build up to at least a minute or so that way before shifting back to the full version.
Am I correct in thinking, that for women at least, going from easiest to hardest versions would be:
1) knees and palms
2) knees and forearms
3) toes and palms
4) toes and forearms

We're all doing baby steps here and we're doing what we can. Hopefully we'll progress as the weeks go by!
But your progression sounds logical to me, but what do I know.  IMHO, do what you can.
Question: When you say palms do you mean straight arm like a push up??
BTW: Did you see the links that Marvin posted about plank progressions on page 1 of this thread? Those are very helpful to me. |
