Happy Saturday, Plankin' Peeps!

Good job powering thru with your workout, MM! I get like that and just have to "get 'er DONE!" We feel so much better afterwards, don't we??Thanks for the encouragement, MS! But I'd like to be able to do it all at one time... but I'll keep plankin' away til I get there! Awesome job with the increase!

*MickiSue suggested holding the 1st plank as long as possible, rest and do another one. So that’s what I started doing as of 28 June

Good morning to you planners and pushers-up!

I'm figuring out why I'm so slowly increasing this time. Last night, I did 1:20, and then, when I did my child pose with arms extended, my left shoulder had an agonizing spot that did NOT like that position.

I'm sure it's from carrying a big purse around for a week, something I don't usually do.

So, I took the 1:20, and called it good. Even though I'm only using a purse on occasion, not for big chunks of the day, I'm switching to one 1/2 the size. Funny how we seem to put as much as we can in a purse, whether we need it or not, huh?

We all missed reporting on Sunday. Oh, well.

I did 1:30/rest/40 on Saturday.

Yesterday, completely forgot about it till I was in bed, half asleep.

THAT has to quit.

Happy Tuesday, Plankin' Peeps!

Hope everyone is doing well and wishing each of you a totally terrific day in every single way!

The excruciatingly slow internet this past week or so is cutting down on actual time to post.

So here's the update since Monday:

Monday: 1:30/rest/45
Tuesday: 40. Dunno why. My lower back was in pain, my upper body was trembling. It happens, sometimes. I remember, when I first started planking way back in 2013, I'd gotten up to over 30s, and then had a day where I collapsed at 15.

Wednesday: 1:20. Better, but not great. I do have to respect my back's needs, I guess.

I've also been doing squats throughout the day, as a way to remind me to stand properly, as well as strengthen my butt and thighs, and keep my knees more loose.

Happy Friday, MM and MS!

We seem to be the only three still workin' on the planks that are postin' to this thread or am I mistaken?

In any case, Keep on Plankin' ON!

Barb, I believe, is still on her little island in Canada. Who knows if the others will return?

Yesterday: 1:10/long rest/1:01. Still having lower back issues, so the more I can strengthen it with other things besides planking, the better off I'll be.

Currently, I am taking a rest from bouncing on the balance ball while I watch the Olympics opening ceremonies.

I've been impressed, so far. Love the idea of each of the athletes planting a seed as they enter the arena, and then an Athletes' Forest being planted from the seedlings!

Hellllooooooooo. The echoes in here are scary!

Yesterday: 1:15/rest/1:01

Hellllooooooooo right back atcha! at echoes! Well since Barb is on her lil' island, there's just 3 of us here... but it's all good!

I know I'll keep plankin' away every other day... so I'll be back to log my planks for tomorrow!

Hello Plankin' Peeps!

Hope all is well on this beautiful Sunday!
