Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.

Hip drops? I like to do those with rolling the knees in, for that extra crunch satisfaction Lift, roll in, roll back, lower. Actually works you harder than staying lifted and just doing the knee rolls,

In the women's running group on FB (Women Who Run The World), we're having a similar Plank Challenge, inspired by the one you've started here, Tammy. Here's yet another core torture exercise for you, the Scorpion Push Up. If you want to embellish it, you can try this under-and-over version (demo starts around 2:10), or add a Scorpion Flip after each rep. Or do both.
something that calls itself "Scorpion" - yeah, I'm so all over that one! lol. I'll check those out. Thanks!
did my 2nd set of planks last night and did another set this morning.

:45 right
twice each day gets me 5.5 minutes each day. And it's really making a noticeable difference too.

I don't understand a word you people are saying. After working for 12 hours, today, I was too tired to do my weight work out...but I did my dang planks. 70 seconds forward...or prone...or whatever plus 40 seconds on each side.
I agree, Mike. I'm learning a whole new language here!

I was pretty fatigued after my workout this morning, so I kept my planking simple:
1 X 150 - glute bridge
1 X 120 - straight-arm forward plank
1 X 150 - glute bridge on stability ball
Nothing fancy today, so no special new words to learn.

Still here, doing my 2.5 minutes. Today I did 60 seconds of walking planks - anyone ever do those? Plus 30-second forward and two 30-second sides.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
