5-Minute Plank? Challenge Accepted!

When I turned 29 last month I put together a 30 Before 30 list of things I wanted to accomplish over the next year. One category was a list of fitness challenges that included a 5-minute plank. I do a 15-minute core workout everyday so last night I thought I might give this one a try and see if I couldn’t knock it out on my first try. Mission accomplished. I held steady – well, slightly shaky by the end – for all five minutes! Here’s to checking the first thing off my list!

  1. Geez. I can barely make it a minute. Granted, I do it two days a week and hate it, so…

    If your eerily-similar-to-mine PRs improve more than mine do this year, I’ll be asking you for your core workout. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Haha, my physical therapist promised a stronger core would help keep me injury free and everything I read says it’ll give me killer PRs. I’d settle for injury free, but am hoping for some killer PRs too, and will absolutely share my core workout if it happens! ๐Ÿ™‚
