The squat challenge posted here a while back was what enabled me to be able to now do 100 squats like it's nuthin'.

I'm in. Also Dixiee I'm going to send you a pm in a minute.

[silverjm]

I'm in. I've been meaning to work on my planks, and I could use some extra motivation.

[Regina Philange]

Im down.

[kkfeb04]

Can I just say holy shit that model has legs that go on forever!

[lauranicole91]

I'll give it a shot. We starting today?

[Dorothy Zbornak]

I'm in, but tomorrow. I'm full of gummy bears now.

[dixeedeluxe]

I'm starting today on Day 3 just so I can keep track.

[teamhayes]

I am in but don't quite get it. I'm slow sometimes.

So do you do one plank and. Hold it 20 seconds or or 20 planks and hold them 20 seconds and work up. As the days go on?

Just one plank for however many seconds that is.  So, I'm starting on Day 3 today so I'll hold one plank for 30 seconds.  Then tomorrow, 45 seconds.

I'm kind of interested in doing something like this with you guys- but with other things as well, like squats, sit ups, etc...maybe it will motivate me if I know a bunch of us are trying to do this at home. I need to do some sort of weight training/resistance along with my daily walking.

Squats are so good if you're also walking.  No equiptment needed.  Helps your knees and hips support your frame like WHOA.  I think squatting helped my running because it helped my frame. 

I started an ab challenge and quit after, like, a day.

Also, this was not the kind of planking I was thinking about.

I think it would be much funnier to plank for 20 seconds in public one day, and then build up to planking for 300 seconds in public later.

you do that challenge.
and IG your daily progress.

jk jk jk jk

I did mine. 30 seconds is a long ass time.

Just finished mine. Not entirely sure if my form is great, but it was hard so that must mean something right? Haha.

[dixeedeluxe]

I feel totally ripped already.

[silverjm]

Did mine.

[skwcm80]

I finished day 1.

[lauranicole91]

So I didn't want to plank on the hardwoods so I came to my bedroom so I could do it on carpet. I still haven't gotten up. I'm just laying on the floor probing. Laziness to the max.

[teamhayes]

I have no idea what I am doing but I did 3 for the 3rd day of the yr

1 for 20 secs 1 for 30 secs and 1 for 60 secs (like I said I suck at this)

Is this easy or is it me? I always over did it too soon at c25k too and than failed.

will there be a daily checkin to keep us accountable?

[dixeedeluxe]

I was really wobbly.engaging the muscles isn't hard. Keeping form is!

It's insane to me how weak my core is.

[creamsiclechica]

Planks are super hard, man! I will have to live vicariously through all of you doing this. Hardcore, all of you.

I basically always look like the elephant doing them, lol.

[teamhayes]

ok I am so going to do this

I can do this

6 weeks til I go back to work

[thedahliharpa]

I wish I was pregnant just so I could challenge my personal squat record. I'm damn proud at being able to hold a squat for 20mins at 37 weeks. Now I could probably only do a few minutes. Planks seem more torturous to me.

[jaime183]

I need something like this. I'll start tomorrow!
