Planking

[Hermit of the Forest]

I’m going to challenge myself to increasing my planking abilities. I will hopefully be posting times here. If anyone wants to do a plank off...

Somehow I’m imagining you planking with baby goats climbing on your back.

What does planking actually help on your body?

It trains muscles in different areas of your body. For getting a better posture par example, or even to reduce/get rid of back pain (if I can trust Google), to train your flexibility,...

Personally I’m hoping it will strengthen my core and arms so I can do push ups more successfully. Right now I look like some kind of weird noodle trying to do push ups.

I’ve also been told having a strong core is very beneficial for women. I’m sure the same is true for men as well.

Aright. I started at thirty seconds. Beat me. Challenge!

Jesus Christ, it is 1AM and I just ate a gingerbread cookie. Let my stomach digest it... Give it 30 minutes, okay? I WILL BE THERE.

Lol, it doesn’t have to be today. Get some some sleep.

+30 extra seconds for the delay. That makes 60 seconds! Easy peasy banana lemon squeezy. Keep up, captain!

Though I hope my posture was correct... Since it did not feel as hard as I remembered it. But I am used to doing pushups... So doing a correct plank doesn't have to be that difficult, right?

I’m afraid you’ve still got me beat. Well done! But don’t worry, I’m bringing up the rear (literally )! I shall gain strength, and soon shall challenge you again.

I would think correct posture would be a little easier. If I let my spine dip too low it creates a sagging feeling and if I have my butt too high it is uncomfortable as well, so I try to keep it neutral feeling. But that’s just me.

So far I’ve felt much better all around. I have more energy and mental sharpness, and better mood too.

My ribs feel a little bruised though, but it’s just sore muscles. This too shall pass.

All this, because of some planking? Jeez, sounds like I got to do it more often too!

And yes, CHALLENGE ME.

I’ve also been trying to keep a positive outlook and have been taking large doses of vitamin D.

Made it to 40 seconds. Woohoo!

(A little progress is still progress, after all. )
