| How long can you hold plank? | | I took a new class last week, and the instructor told us she'd like us all to be able to hold a 3 minute plank by Memorial Day. Right now most of the class is up to 2 minutes! For those that don't know, a plank is where you get down like you're going to do a push up, resting on just your hands and balls of your feet, keeping your back flat.Last night I had my husband time me while I held plank.. I held it for 1 minute 33 seconds. I probably could have held on a little longer but my back has been bothering me so that made it difficult. I am going to challenge myself to hold that 3 minute plank along with the rest of the class by Memorial Day (end of May in USA). I'm half way there now! Can you do it? | |
| | Plank Test of Core Strength | | On Good Morning America this morning they had Dr. Oz and a colleague talking about exercise to improve beauty and to lessen stress. They said one key thing is to have good core body strength and had a test for how good ones core strength is. A diagram is shown in the attached photo. In effect it is to take a push-up position on toes and elbows(forearms) and see how long you can hold it. 15 seconds is a weak core, 15-45 secs shows need for improvement and greater than 45 secs as they put it they want to see your abs. Well I'm not too sure about this test. Either I have great core strength or the test is not that good. I am 63, a little overweight and to say I have been grossly neglectfull of my exercising and working out for the last two years would be an enormous understatement. Yet, I had absolutely no touble in going over 45 secs and only quit at 48 secs because I had other things I had to attend to and they hadn't given any criteria beyond that. I feel certain that 90 or 120 secs or more would have been easily in my capability. | |

| What a plank!!! I did it again..!!! | | Am I thick, blind or what?
The other day I walked into Tesco's and bought myself some balsamic vinegar because I make a really nice salad with fresh basil, tomatoes, red onions and Mozzarella..I go home and though the bill for my shopping was a bit steep. So I looked at the receipt and saw that the balsamic vinegar was 11.99 sterling..Oh my days, I went back to Tesco's and told them that I had been over charged..I thought it was 1.99..To my horror it WAS 11.99!!!!!! No wonder my Sister kept complimenting me on such a lovely salad!!!
Well it was the most expensive salad she is ever going to have lol..
Have you been a plank lately and why? | |

| | want to have flat abs.... | | Been going to gym for almost 6 months now. I lose weight already, all parts of my body are getting smaller except for one and that is my abs/tummy. I am happy that i can wear sexy dresses and my recent accomplishment is to wear bathing suit. But still i want to have a flat abs, i know it will take time to do this but maybe somebody here can advice me how to get your abs a perfect one a little bit faster than the usual time. aside from all exercise for the abs because i been doing that for almost 8 months, maybe somebody here can recommend something that will help me to loose fats on my tummy. | |
