Main thing is daily discipline get that core nice and strong - makes for great sex too | |||

"I've googled it. I won't do it I don't think. I have a titanium implant in my spine and I'm very wary of compromising that, it seems you can do some damage if you don't get it right. Good luck to everyone doing it " Yes you definitely need to be careful and check that one but if done right you shouldn’t feel it in your back at all as you use you core to support your back. For people who suffer with spinal disc bulges , degeneration and sciatica stemming from lower back problems, a strong core is essential to prevent further episodes. Today’s 70secs done, a little wobbly by the end , think my core actually had a pretty heavy workout last night | |||

"Are we doing high, or low planks? Good question. I’m definitely low." I think low is harder? To make it harder / more interesting how about - start high, down to one elbow, down to second elbow then up to one hand, second hand - also one arm plank.. Then..one leg lifted high, or across body | |||

Then..one leg lifted high, or across body " I’m just doing normal elbow planks for this so far. Feel free to mix it up though 30 secs normal , roll over to side planks, Spider-Man’s - alternating arms and legs, it all engages different parts of your core and makes it interesting when you get above a couple of minutes. | |||

I failed miserably... so I have benched it " You only fail if you stop Try doing 45 seconds adding one each day Never stop re adjust It's just a yoga move It really SHOULD NOT be competitive It's not about competition its simply about doing The irony is it really is just about doing 20 secs a day is 20 secs a day better than non per day however some humans want or need the competition element to help in the daily doing commitment I cannot be emphatic enough or repeat enough You only fail ONLY fail if you do not (not even cannot as long as you try) one only fails if one does not try to do one second each day Ignore the morons who plank for what seems a life time So in summary Plank for whatever you can If you want to add a second a week You may improve for a year you may not What's the rush | |||

For the advanced ones there are many different variations of planking to test your core strength. Start slow and build up.
