I can't that kind of plank yet ☺ I do it on my knees.  I can do a side plank but still haven't nailed the one where you use your forearm to raise you up while holding your other arm tucked into your neck area

Practice I suppose ...

Hehe love it.  I'm starting 5x50 tomorrow so maybe after 50 days I will be able to plank.

Well done. A friend told me that after a minute there are no further benefits anyway 😎

I did 30 seconds as part of 30 minutes of floor exercises this morning.  I know I can do more - at work we recently did it on our hands rather than forearms for 3 minutes.

May try this whole routine (aimed at core and back) once a week, but maybe I'll do plan again tomorrow :-)

Sounds brilliant, and it's so good for our running form...

after the shock of a bit of nudity on this site, i thought it was all good family fun here! 

i heard planking, side planking, squats are all good run a good core which will make you run faster especially in the later stages when you start getting tired.  but one day i might start but with all this chocolate the kids have laying a bit its just hard not have a nibble here and there.
