Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Little Nemo - this kitten can
I decided to give 20 secs planking and 20 secs resting a go and I just about made it through the 5 mins, although I did have to increase the rest time at the end. I did 2 mins and 20 secs of planking - MUCH tougher than I thought it would be and I'm ashamed at how feeble my effort was :-(

I dread to think how feeble I will be

But LN its a starting point. And over time those times will get longer

I've got a dog boarding with me all day. There's no way she'd let me plank without thoroughly kissing me all over my face for a full 5 mins!

Will wait until she's been collected.

Just over 4 minutes, 4:02:73 to be exact! I found it hard, I could feel my extra pounds!
I started doing a minute with about 15 secs break three times, then I did about 30 secs with a short break then a final just over 30 secs. #shaking all over :-)

So it's finding out how long you can plank for, is that it?
