I repeated yesterday's times. My arms are a little sore, and my stomach feels tight. I think those are good signs. I will try once more before going to bed. I read somewhere that exercise before sleep can aid in weight loss. Does anyone know if this is true?

Day 2
plank level 1 - 50 seconds

side plank level 1 - 40 seconds
both sides

reverse plank level 1 - 30 seconds.

Day 3 - Shelbydog is right about exercise post turkey binge. I wasn't able to keep good form during my first attempt today, so I'm not recording it here. After a 30-minute rest, I made my second attempt.

PL1 - 45 seconds
SPL1 - 30 seconds
(both sides)
RPL1 - 30 seconds.

I was screaming on the inside on the reverse plank. I'm really sore today. Anybody else having muscle soreness?

Yes, my butt was sore for several days, but it has mostly gone away now. My triceps scream while I am doing reverse plank, but are not staying sore afterwards.

Kass, is there a picture of how you do your reverse plank? All I saw is that bridge looking pose - I am totally afraid to even think about trying that... - is that the level that you do?

bridge might actually be easier on your shoulders, but won't work the triceps

The one I was thinking of as a distant dream is the wheel

I tried them, am a bit too top heavy for any of the poses other than this last one. I can do that - and no shoulder strain! Will start that tomorrow as my reverse plank. I am pretty happy with my triceps anyway... My butt is beginning to get a little sore - and I usually do that - sore up a few days after the exercise that does it.
