30 Day Plank Challenge




Earlier this month I joined a 30 day plank challenge on Facebook "hosted" by a friend of mine.  

When she posted this challenge I laughed and thought to myself NEVER. I disliked planks so much. Every time I have done them they hurt my wrists so bad and it was flat out painful to do and they are just plain hard. I happen to catch that the first day was just 20 seconds. With a little coaxing from Melanie, I decided to give it a try. I also noticed the picture and had never tried planks using that form before, which would allow the pressure to be taken off of my wrists. 
  
I've completed the first 11 days and am up to a 60 second plank. I'm so already impressed by that. Kenny has been doing them with me, but he doubles the amount (um, ya, overachiever) and is up to 120 seconds already.  

Wanna join in on the plank fun? The schedule is below. If you want in on the Facebook group, I can get you hooked up, too. 

Happy Planking!
