shutterpillar Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 This may seem measly to some, but its a big deal to me! lol. When I started doing the bodyweight training, I could barely get through the 15 seconds of planks in the beginner video from this website. Like, at about 10 seconds I was huffing a puffing and feeling like I was going to collapse. But today.... I did 20 seconds in my first circuit! WOOT! I did 15 seconds in the following 2 circuits, but I was so happy that I hung in there for the first one. That's all... carry on. Quote "resistance is futile." Link to comment

mmhorgan2001 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nice job!!! You wouldn't think it from the description, but planks are hard. Honestly, they make me cry everytime I do them. Quote Link to comment

I started at 20 seconds and could barely do that without wanting to cry. NOW I can do about 75 seconds. I have slowwwwwly worked my way up. It's hard, but you'll get up to a minute in no time if you put the effort in! Quote Link to comment
DaveSix Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Never done a plank until now. Just tried one. Held it for 3 minutes. Lower back started hurting so I stopped. Quote Link to comment
Hardy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Phew!! So I'm not the only one!! I drop at 30 seconds now. Shake like a leaf from 20 seconds on.... Looking forward to easy solid "minutes"!! Quote http://www.fitocracy.com/profile/NukemHardy/ Link to comment
Ryan Sannar Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Congrats! My PT makes me do them, so I know your pain. Quote Link to comment
happycori Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Awesome! I just finished my first nerd fitness beginner circuit. Fhew- I have a long way to go but yeah- we did it! Your 20 seconds and my 15 seconds- Woot to us! Quote Link to comment
Sydnie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Woot woot!!! I'm super proud of you. I can hardly get to my 15s, too. Fitocracy always makes me feel like a pansy when I put them in, too, because they're worth like 6 pts each. haha! But that's awesome. Gives me inspiration that I'll eventually be able to get to 20s too!! =] Quote Fitocracy! | Running Trainer | Facebook | Twitter | Current Challenge Blog! Pain is weakness leaving the body.
