"Hi forummers.... i regularly get requests to rerun the daily plank challenge 🤣🤣 so clearly lots of you are more masochistic than you thought you were! Usually we do it in January, when we all look like beached whales... So why don't we mix it up and do it in October, before we reach whale status ?? For any newbies, be warned some of the plank challenges are nigh on impossible... even in the whale position! So does anyone want to do it again? " I haven't a clue on what you're asking... sorry  | |||

"How does it work? " So basically i post a daily pose (picture) with instructions - how long /how many reps etc I try to run it via telegram as i run out of messages on fab (and it takes forever to individually message everyone twice a day with the picture and instructions!) Then we have a fab forum thread running for support /encouragement .. Which I'll be honest, is usually just moaning about how hard /painful /impossible it is 🤣🤣🤣 | |||

"plank position is resting on your elbows and toes, keeping the rest of your body off the ground and as straight as possible, helps strengthen your core muscles, im good at this 💪🏻👍🏻 • I don't mind being in, in principle, but does this also burn calories (fat burning) or just strengthen muscles? 💭 · "planks are a great exercise that can strengthen your core and improve your balance and stability. They can also help you prevent injuries, improve your posture, and boost your metabolism" • Okay, Míddèrs, you have swayed me. Count me in. · To clarify — the Telegraph group is just to offer support, daily poses, encouragement etc...but not photos of each other in unflattering poses? 🫤 Photos are actively DISCOURAGED! Dammit. I was going to offer to adjudicate on the pictures
KC you can run the challenge if you have time!? "I'm afraid I can't run anything right now (or at all )
Have fun, all you planks | |||

"Excuse my naivety but what is the plank challenge?" It's a daily challenge involving different "plank" exercises - they are great for your core and stability. They get increasingly challenging, but you just do what you can, when you can x | |||

"Hi forummers.... i regularly get requests to rerun the daily plank challenge 🤣🤣 so clearly lots of you are more masochistic than you thought you were! Usually we do it in January, when we all look like beached whales... So why don't we mix it up and do it in October, before we reach whale status ?? For any newbies, be warned some of the plank challenges are nigh on impossible... even in the whale position! So does anyone want to do it again? " I would plank on you to be fair | |||

Spikes deflected. I’m there for the planks and the squats. But it did come across as particularly ungrateful to the OP. Hopefully that wasn’t your intention either? My skin is thick enough. Ta | |||

"4km with dog there. I think my motivation is self driven. I do feel unhappy with my efforts recent months after holiday though, just hasn’t happened between other things going on" Sorry wasn’t clear there, need to sort my headspace with a lot going on outside of just me, so not at minute and I’ll work on getting back up to my own target for day/week walking. | |||
