CC planking challenge

[Cycleops]

Let's see how long you can hold the plank for. Body straight in the position shown below. Most should be able to manage a least a minute. I'm sure @Drago will go 2. @Dave7 at least have a go. I can do 1:15.
Come along, no cheating now.

Given my stomach rests on the ground when doing the plank, I managed 3 hrs before falling asleep

 

[Dave7]

Ha. With my health, if I get down then I couldn't get back up.

 

[Drago]

Time to produce my "knackered hip" and "elbow full of titanium" doctors note.

Yep. I'll start. Before lockdown I was up to 6:15. I would struggle to do half that now. This is due to the downward forces acting on my waist. Put it this way, it not gravitational field strength that has changed 😳

No worries

I do a minute every morning, as part of my stretching routine, that I tell myself will help combat sciatica, I don't want that pain again. I doubt I could do much longer and have no desire to try.

I tried doing one but couldn't work out how to do it properly. I tried again, but was still baffled. I must be thick as two short planks!

I will try tomorrow - just sinking some G&T's celebrating Graham Potter's dismissal from Chelsea FC.

Not conducive to stressful exercising!

 

[Reynard]

1:10 for me.

Started getting somewhat wobbly about 45 seconds in, but managed to hold on a bit longer.

That's plonk, not plank.

We do it in our yoga class, start in sphinx pose then move to plank then back to sphinx.
