Omg planking!

[Sinuosette]

So, one of the things I am being super stubborn with recently, is some good old office planking. Me and a few friends from the office have a ranking system and we try to beat each other's records while increasing our personal ones at the same time.

I am far from beating the 3m30s one of my friends managed to pull (he made it look easy! ), but i reached one of my milestones: 2 minutes!

I am sure I had smoke coming out of my ears at that point, but I am ranking highest among the girls and that's already a start. The boys'd better start being veeery afraid

Congrats! Any plank is good plank .

I actually realised I made a typo, my new personal record is 2 minutes. I was too excited to even check what i was typing

Comment dit-on 'Woot!' en français?

[Sinuosette]

No idea, my French is terribad (I'm from Italy )

[Maj. Bloodnok]

No worries; my French is terribad as well, as is my Italian. Spanish, on the other hand...

Bravo!

That's the closer from woot I can think about ^^.

Bravo! I'm gonna think of you when I do my cute little beginner planks from now on, to inspire me!

@ articMaiden: The amazing thing with planks is that seeing the results of training is a little easier: I went from 30s~ to 2 minutes in about 10 days. That increased my motivation to keep trying

On a totally unrelated note: OMG hula-hooping! I'm not very good at it, but office hula-hooping is one of my favourite activities on a working day (normally happens after office planking ).

Yay, Hula-hoop! Like jump rope, I played that a lot when I was a child and I still have very fond memories of it. I have yet to find an adult size one though. I like the idea of office planking. I think I'll copy you on this one. I won't do that with my co-workers though ^^

I can't find a decent sized hula hoop either (I guess they are not common in France?), but my colleague brought 2 from California, so for now we are fine. Office planking is amazing! We have a small group of girls meeting every day and planking together to see who's going to last the longest. Even if you decide to do it by yourself it's still a quick and nice work out that won't take much of a lunch break

We sometimes get weird looks from the other colleagues walking past our glass walls but they all end up being amused and wanting to try (we have a rankign system with our personal records on a wall ).

Actually I made my hula hoop! It cost less than $5 Canadian and was really easy. Then I decorated it with pink and batman hockey tape.

There is a tutorial here if you want to make your own: http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html

Have fun!!!

I never thought about making one! Thanks for sharing the link

We made hula hoops too. Good job.

And great job with the planking progress. Inspirational.
