This month, let’s show our Core some love. I propose a Plank Challenge! We will start on Monday, Feb 1 with a 30 second plank. We will increase our plank daily by 5 seconds, taking Sunday off. By the end of the month, you will be doing a 3 MINUTE PLANK!
You may choose to plank on your hands or elbows. You may also drop a knee or both if you need a brief rest, but pop back up for as long as you can before you need another brief break.
Remember to keep your back straight, and your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. You are technically cheating when you allow your bottom to pop up. This takes the fire out of your core, which is the point of a plank.
Feel free to get creative and throw in a side plank on each side, if you need a little inspiration or break. You can alternate between your hands and elbows, as well, if you get some pressure point discomfort.
Don’t “suffer” alone! Recruit office buddies, family members, friends and neighbors! We could all use some Core Strength!
