Happy Planks

[Lovely Lettie]

What method is everybody using to do their planks?? On knees or not? On elbows with knees/without. Arms extended with/without, etc. Genuinely curious.

I've been doing the traditional one on elbows w/o knees involved

This was agonizing. Slipknot definitely helped me through this one

I didn't know there was an on knees plank, I've been doing on elbows no knees involved.

I don't see one with knees involved.

I don't see one with knees involved.

When doing isometric planks you don't use your knees but some abdominal workouts use one knee and you extend one arm usually with a weight and hold that position for a second.

I do traditional planks w/o knees on elbows.

I do traditional planks w/o knees on elbows.

Me too. I can't do the arms extended (on hands), as my right wrist doesn't flex that far anymore.

I feel wimpy doing a paltry 1 minute plank. This morning, I did a 1:10.

I console myself with the fact that I'm 62.

1:20 just now. I'll get there.

I have a bone spur in my right hand so I try not to stress it too much. Planking on elbows is a higher intensity plank anyways though

I feel wimpy doing a paltry 1 minute plank. This morning, I did a 1:10.

I started at 30 seconds in 2019 and got up to 4:30 after a couple months. I'm sure you'll be planking for longer if you stay consistent

I console myself with the fact that I'm 62.

I don't know very many 62yos who can plank at all, you're doing great!
Come to think of it, I actually don't know many people no matter what their age who can hold a one minute plank
