CC planking challenge

[Cycleops]

1:10 for me.

Started getting somewhat wobbly about 45 seconds in, but managed to hold on a bit longer.

That's very good. It's not as easy as it look is it?

No, it's not. Although it's mathematically easier for me, as my "span" isn't as long as most.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I can do a minute I know. But when the minute's up I stop. How much more could I do? Who knows. Maybe a whole extra second, or even two.

 

[Mo1959]

Less than a minute which is no surprise as my core strength is terrible. Given that I have had lumbar disc and bad sciatica twice, I should really be doing core stuff but I am lazy.

Tried it this morning. With my elbow and hip it hurt as expected.

However, another problem arose. Counting my feet and elbows as one each, I had 3 points of contact with the ground

What went wrong? You should have had five.

 

[ClichéGuevara]

I went for advanced mode, and did it on my back. I think it's called the dead dog or dying ant.

 

[Venod]

. I doubt I could do much longer and have no desire to try.

OK curiosity got the better of me, I extended the minute to one minute thirty five seconds this morning, I think longer is possible, but trying to avoid the challenge

Hope the carpet didn’t tickle your nose too much?

23 seconds

 

[Gillstay]

1.30, and surprised at how hard it is as I weigh little.

 

[Oldhippy]

As above, never tried before but did 1.36.85. I found it OK but the last twenty seconds or so I felt it. I have only ever ridden, walked or lifted for fitness but never actually done it on purpose if that makes sense I am naturally active is the best way to put it perhaps.

 

[Cycleops]

You did well @Oldhippy , that's a very respectable time. I'm going to try and improve mine.
I think weight has little to with it @Gillstay , more to do with core strength. Again a good time.

 

[Julia9054]

About 3 minutes.
Been to see the physio today re rotator cuff injury that's not getting better with rest.
Planks and press ups banned for a month. Not sad - bloody hate press ups.

 

[Oldhippy]

I weigh just over ten stone and am built like a twiglet but a fit one I think. I may see how far I can go out of curiosity I think.
