You crack me up bear head! lol
Whoa, hold the phone. Back up, Barbie.
It has occurred to me that I have a condition in my foot that is aggravated by putting pressure on the ball of my foot. Say, by standing on it for three minutes at a time. I have $300 custom orthotics to help it. Perhaps this exercise is not the most prudent. I guess I'll try side planks and see how that goes, but regular planks are out for me.
I did 1 x 3:15 today before my rational brain kicked in.

Try it from your knees, too. It's easier, but a decent compromise.
And who are you calling Barbie?
lol

I feel like today's 30 seconds was harder than yesterday's. man I am such a wimp, lol.
I like you, Lilac. The rest of 'em are too fancy to me. I did my 30 today and I'm sticking to it!

I love that phrase.
3:35 done after work.
And there is no way in hell I will get to 10 minutes. At this point, I would have a better chance of running a 10:00 5k! >:-/
1 min plank followed by 30 second side planks w/10 leg lifts.
They're just show offs Us mortals just do the plan.
I used my iphone as a stopwatch and that seemed to make it easier, instead of counting down. That, or the wine I had first.
rather be sprinting
I prefer to progress the weight on my planks (I put a sandbag on my back) rather than the duration... I can go for quite awhile, but I get very bored and start craning my neck all around, which isn't the best habit to cultivate and probably cheats my form. But now I'm wondering which has more of an impact on running-specific core strength. Weight or duration? I actually am not sure and will ask an expert. My gut [heh] tells me that planks for time might not be most useful, but I will definitely give this a shot sometime soon and get a time down.

4:11 this morning.
It is fitting that my core temperature rises and beads of sweat form on my head the longer I hold the position.
Scap, if someone put a sandbag on my back while in a plank, I would collapse to the floor! I look forward to hearing about your progress with it.
Everyone else, get your planks in today!
I noticed the heat thing, too. It's amazing how fast you warm up using all those big muscles!
Just did 3:00 knee plank, and the only thing I could feel was my wrists. Does that really do anything for you? I should have used the position to do some pushups, now THAT would have been beneficial!
Ha!
I use my iPhone, too. works fabulously. No wine for me, but I'm guessing that would make everything much much harder.

I'm comfortable with 3 minutes, got up to 5 minutes back in August before my groin started tightening up past 4 so I took a break. Got back into about 2 weeks ago, I like to do 3 minute planks 2-3 times a day. I prefer the temperature to be 70- when doing one, I always heat up.
