Has anyone tried the Plank Challenges at Konkura.com ? There is a 60 year old woman on there who has managed 25 minutes at the standard Plank position!
haha i do this almost everyday but i that time passes so slowly like, i plank with the stopwatch on so i know how long i go for, but is there something i can do in the meantime to let the time fly past? ive tried listening to music but it hasnt helped much ):
also what is a good time to do it for if youre a female teen? ive been doing 3minutes
@MissShulley Do you mean 3 minutes without stopping? :o I don't think many people can do that, even if they have been doing it a long time. Maybe you aren't doing it right? Or you just have really, really, really strong core muscles.
dudes its been plank for as long as ive known. 5 years ago when i was in kenpo they called them planks so its not facebook people tryin to be kool. theres prolly more than one name for things, ever think of that? u guys make me laugh HA
@misuniadziubek You probably should discuss this with your GP and get your blood pressure checked. There is also an easier beginner variation where you place your knees on the ground which may be worth looking at. Make sure you go to your GP first though just in case.
@funkyironman69 that's really good advice, since then I did go, and i was related to my adrenal glands misfunctioning causing falls in BP. Thanks for your input.
also called elbow and toes idk why people started calling it the plank guess that the stupid facebook people trying to be cool when really they just fucking looking stupid. ooooo look at me i can lay down on shit now i'm cool.
@CurtisPenner thank you for the video it was great, but i reallt need your advice!
oke so i'm a 13 year old boy, with a six-pack (nearly eight-pack), and i really wanna get an eight-pack... If i do this 3 times a day for 3 minutes following these steps, will that give me an eight-pack? please respond fast :) - Other peepz knowing what they're talking about can answer - it would be greatly appriciated if some of you answered me
(Oh and before i forget - sorry for the bad grammar, i'm Danish lol)
@PickupSavant because the core muscles are POSTURAL slow twitch fiber muscles. this means that they resist fatigue VERY well, as they are responsible for keeping you from collapsing like a ball of mush all day. they are by nature resistant to fatigue. the shoulder area is more of a fast twitch fiber are, which means they are not responsible for continued postural support, but more adapted to fast, sudden, powerful moves. these types of muscle fatigue more easily.
ok, someone help me out here....when I do this exercise, the only pressure I feel is on my shoulders holding myself up?....am I doing something wrong??..thanks..
@SketchLasVegas Only advice I can give about proper form for this something not dissimilar to pushup posture. When you do pushups, you are ensuring that your body is nothing more than a lever. The functional difference between planks and pushups is that you are using that lever in a pushup to work your chest muscles, where the work in a plank comes from resisting gravity with your core muscles.
The current world record (according to Guiness World Records) for the plank position is 33 minutes and 40 seconds, set in Queensland, Australia on 11 May 2011 by 68 year old Paul Drinan.
if you let ur stomach sag doing this its cheating.suck in the stomach and clentch the butt and i guarantee you will only be able to hold for half the time you normally can
@nothingcreativenow It depends on the pain. There's the dull muscle ache that tells you you're straining your muscles in a way that will strengthen them, and there's the much sharper pain of a pulled muscle, sprain, or similar injury.
@TrumpetGuy6 You obviously have never exercised in your life dumbass. This is the real plank. A core exercise workout which has been done for years, not the Facebook shit. And btw it's called 'The Lying Down Game' before the dumb bogans renamed it 'planking'. so stfu pls.
I started out at like 10 seconds and i was having trouble but i've been doing it every other night for the past couple weeks and improving. Right now i'm at 2 minutes but during the exercise my lower back starts to hurt and i want to stretch it out but at the same time i don't want to stop the exercise. What should i do
@Seyoum14 maybe you should stretch your back beforehand, and reduce the time you're doing the exercise, unless it's just the muscles, in which case, they should get stronger over time :P
@GIocks what i do is try and hold it for a minute (NOT EASY) and then once i can comfortably reach 1 minute, add 10 or so seconds to it and just keep adding as you get stronger at it.
Tried out the side plank for 3 sets and I left with a horrible pain at the front of my shoulder - lateral to the pectoral region above my armpit. It's painful when swinging my arm backwards e.g when walking and doin any rowing movements,
Hey excellent Video. I was reading about Ab workouts and this looked similar to this Blog I was reading earlier. It had very helpful information and I got amazing results. Check it out getyourabs.blogspot.com/
AhHa the plank we had to do these in P.E. as a warm up AND a punishment the warm ups were 3 for 10 seconds but for the punishments we had to do this for 5 minuets and a wall sit for about the same time
you're supposed to keep your back straight... but it is not a good excercise for people who already have back or spinal cord injuries.... also this is not really the full Plank. The Full Plank involves leg lefts in addition to what is mentioned here.
idk if you were thinking i was talking about the vid or not, but i was mentioning to some dude who said to put weights on your back. I don't think that would be effective.
@BrokenPiecesOfHeart... yes I was talking about the video. But I do second you. Adding weight is supposed to increase resistence... however, adding weight to one's back can increase the likelihood of back injury or pain. If a person finds it necessary to include resistence to their back during this excercise it would be more benficial for them to add more repetitions rather than actual real weight in order to decrease the likelihood of injury.
How long should a beginner, intermediate, and expert be able to hold it? I'm in decent shape, tried it for the first time and made it just over a minute.
@rudysmustache for beginner do it for like 60 to 90 secs if you get better hold it for 2 to 4 minutes if you want to be even better try 5 minutes and up
@bati555 that's mostly the case, The plank puts a lot of pressure on your arms, but however isn't making your arms stronger, its more difficult to keep your arms steady, but it does in fact give you some strong abs
hiyaa Ellie :D well..this video ...is a disgrace to everyone who is lazy or has a JV 4 hour class tommorow at sunshine..we have to do this for like 4 minuetes... *tear in eye* ...sorry im sooo hyper yeh so ill get negative comments but ohh weelll :L and btw ...KEEP YOUR STOMACHE BUTTOCKS AND LEGS TIGHT DURING THE EXCERSIZE
mix up your exercise routine. bicycle crunches are one of the best ab workouts as they work the obliques and abdominals. you won't get a six pack without oblique workouts. you also won't get a six pack if your body fat is too high. doing cardio and eating healthy are the first step.
Do some good cardio (jogging for example) every day, eat 5-6 smaller meals a day (rather than 3 big ones), do ab excersizes such as leg raisers, planks, side planks... yes, you'll have them eventually. Don't expect a 6 pack in a month though, lol. Once you have one you have to maintain it, too.
Basically yeah, But you can't just cut off weight and gain a six pack, you need to work your whole upper torso, try weighlifting and pushups, sit-ups ect, and the plank will help too.
you have to add to your regime as plank becomes too easy, just look around for some good excersices :) pallof press can be good, situps on a ball where u basicly lay on the ball, arch ur back all the way back so that it curves over the ball and then just lift ur body up till u crunch the top part of ur pack. I see many people trying to do situps/crunches and instead they just damage their neck and so on by holding hands behind, ball is a better option. U got many other options aswel, look around
dont worry about only do it for 2 to 3 minutes that still really good when i started i could only do it for 45 seconds but after 1 year of hard core training i can do a plank for 8 minutes now try takeing short breathes if that makes it easyier or playing music
God dammit I can do the plank for only about 2 or 3 minutes but that's because I can't breathe easily. It's really hard for me to breathe deep when doing this excercise. Any help?
it is difficult to breathe, thats because your core muscles are constricted throughout. Just take deep breaths, and dont worry, 2 to 3 minutesd is pretty dang good
we do 1 minute planks at school at gym and today my friend timed how long i could do a plank, i pushed myself and got 2 and a half minutes, although i couldve gotten 3 minuted if my muscles werent hurting so bad, i think im doing planks worng though cause only my legs and muscles hurt when i do them not my abs but i keep my body straight what can i b doing wrong?
I was amazed when I first saw this in Pilates class, I thought so easy,, until that was I tried it,
even harder is with your feet on a wabble board so your feet are not static, your core has to work even harder to keep your level and in line, as for the side plank, ouch! but excellent also!
this is harder.....but you have to lay on your stomach with ur hands flat down then push up onto your hands and into the position keeping you whole body in a STRAIGHT line like above otherwise it wont work. x

I heard that holding a plank for too long can be bad for your back?
ShelterDogs 2 years ago 2
Yes, too long may be bad for your back. But start out slow and keep working at it and before you know it, you'll have a stronger back.

does anyone know if this will make you lose fat?
totalyradtwin 2 years ago
no it won't. Cardio and diet will help you lose fat. Increasing overall muscle mass also helps to burn calories even while you're resting.

I was amazed when I first saw this in Pilates class, I thought so easy,, until that was I tried it,
even harder is with your feet on a wabble board so your feet are not static, your core has to work even harder to keep your level and in line, as for the side plank, ouch! but excellent also!

I've seen photos with the arms kept straight (so your body points up). Does that make the exercise easier? Is that a "womans plank"? :)
elegantdouchebag 2 years ago
this is harder.....but you have to lay on your stomach with ur hands flat down then push up onto your hands and into the position keeping you whole body in a STRAIGHT line like above otherwise it wont work. x
klhall2k8 2 years ago
Ah no sorry, I wasn't very clear, I know the one you're talking about and that's way harder, yes.
I'm thinking of the one where you hold your arms straight and vertically to the ground (you're upper body is higher). That should be easier I guess.
