Decided to go for the "hold it as long as you can, rest until not dead, hold as long as you can again, repeat" method. As always when I get the yoga mat out, the cat decided to "help" - maybe when I develop some/any/a smidgen of core strength he can sit on my back rather than repeatedly smooshing his face and @rse in my face. 3:30 total planking Breakdown: 60 P, 15 R, 45 P, 30 R, 45 P, 30 R, 30 P, 30 R, 30 P P = plank R = rest Bloody Nora!
Sharkie May 2015 4:40pm, 18 May 2015 6,688 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Ok, can't resist a challenge. 2 min 30 sec plank, 45 seconds rest, 1 min plank, 45 second rest, 1 min plank, 45 second rest 30 sec plank. Collapse. Shoulders. 5 mins planking. But were my rests too long? They're longer than Bint's! I don't like planks either and the carpet got up my nose. I locked the dog out.

Fragile Do Not Bend May 2015 6:02pm, 18 May 2015 163 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend 3:28, really should have done it on my yoga mat as the carpet hurt my elbows in the end. Surprised myself by managing to start with 60 secs in one go but the rest was very stop-start.
