That's what I keep reminding myself when I'm exhausted after first 15 seconds of the plank  |

197  | Subject: RE: Plank challenge is back! Great job with the planks! Keep up the good work Marysia! I've been doing the plank a day challenge for almost two years now. I have missed maybe a dozen days in that time. My morning routine goes like this: Wake up, and get a pot of coffee brewing. While the coffee is going, I do a 2 minute plank, followed by 43 pushups, and 30 sit ups. (I do 5 regular situps, then 20 where I alternate between touching left knee & right elbow and right knee & left elbow, followed by 5 regular sit ups) Pour a cup of coffee and relax. My morning exercise routine didn't start out like that. Originally it was just the plank, and I guess it started at less than 2 minutes. Then I added 22 pushups to it (there was a Facebook challenge going on that a friend got me to do). I started adding pushups every week or so. Once I got to 30 or so, I added sit ups to the mix, again adding a few every week or so. Lately I have been seeing how fast I can get it done instead of adding more. I think so far in 2018 I have missed one day, and had one day where I forgot to do them until very late at night and started before midnight, but didn't finish til afterwards J White |

Thank you for sharing It started with a one-minute plank for me, and eventually I ended up doing core exercises every other day (with plank challenge daily, almost). I noticed how stronger core helps me with climbing, so that's a great motication. I did not see results when I was ony swimming and running, thus, in the previous years I was not into planks. With climbing it is so much easier to notice a progress, and also how stronger core improves the technique. It made me crave for planks! And is also satisfying when it gets easier |
