30 Day Plank Challenge
-
Guess it depend on how fit you are. I’m quite unfit and find three challenges leaves me aching. So any more for me is probably a bad idea!
-
Uninstalled, reinstalled, what is supposed to come up? Mine is same as above
-
Lucca- I fiddled with mine ALL day. Mine does nothing. I’m wondering why.. I have all of the software. Strange. Do you have an iPhone too?
-
Smaed – ba! Yes! Maybe tomorrow will be a better day..
-
Ok. I had to drop it down to easy yesterday! No way I could make 151 sec 🙁
The disappointing thing is when you drop it to easy it changes the numbers on all the days you completed to the “easy” times, so I feel like it erased my progress. I was hoping it would show what I’ve done so far, and kind of adjust it, but basically it just makes it like you’ve been on easy all along…
The app is cool, and obviously without it (and all of your wonderful encouragement) I would not have started doing this challenge… So I hate to criticize… But I do think in general there is a lot of room for improvement.

@Smaed1 are you still having trouble? When you hit the difficulty level button (first pic) you should get this screen (second pic)

Day 11 145 seconds and I did it. Yesterday at 125 sec I dropped my knees down a few times. But I didn’t see that as failure. I see it as a way to get stronger. But today I held the full 145 sec. I did wiggle my hips here and there but stayed in plank. Omg I got this. Bring on the next day. Oh yeah tomorrow I got you, specially because it will be my rest day 😃

Tried my challenge today and my back started to hurt about 10 seconds in!! I don’t know what’s wrong with me. So I pressed ‘no’ when it asked if I completed, and then started it again and did the V sit for 84 seconds instead! Got pack pain in the last 10 seconds or so but much better than the plank. So annoyed that I can’t finish it properly but I figured doing some sort of stomach exercise is better than nothing! Thanks for the idea 🙂 I’ll keep doing it!

Back pain, not pack pain xD
-
I’ve read that back pain happens when your core quits supporting you… so maybe 74 secs is the max your core can do right now, and then it starts quitting and your back has to take over for the last bit? Maybe repeat 74 secs another day or two and then build up from there? Back pain bad 🙁 But I’m really glad the V Sit is working out better for you! Woohoo! 😀
-
I will, I’ll let you all know how it goes! How’s everyone else doing?
-
To those who asked.. Sadly, that app just won’t work on my phone (I even had my 12 year old son try. It works on his) so, I downloaded a different one. This morning I woke up to saxophones and a note saying “Squats. One day closer to being sexy as
fu?k!!!
Ok… Ill take it! Lol -
Smaed1–I can’t believe that’s what you woke up to–hilarious. Weird way to start the day.
I just did day 10 so I’m 1/3 of the way but dang! Today the time went up 20 seconds and tomorrow it goes up another 20!! I did three minutes today, the most I’ve ever done, and I can’t believe it thinks I can go up more tomorrow, we’ll see. I’ve been alternating between doing them on my elbows versus on my hands with my arms straight figuring it works the muscles a little differently. I have my doubts about all this but have made it so far so I’m just gonna see how far I can go.
-
@smaed1, won’t work on mine either! What app are you using instead (and do you find the saxophones to be motivating? 😉
-
Ok, it’s been getting to the point where I’m going backwards! It’s hard for me to even hold my original 51 seconds. I think my core is tired. My inverts are sucking. I need more rest/recovery. I’m going to keep going for another day or so and see how it pans out. But I might need to pull out. I’m definitely liking planking though and will try and incorporate it more in my exercising regardless.
How is everyone else doing?
