I have recently added something new to my exercise routine that has given me enough results in a short amount of time to make me want to keep doing this move regularly. That move is the PLANK! I never ever thought I would be in love with planks....but i am, surprisingly! The past week that I have incorporated these into my routine, i have noticed an increase in my upper body strength, and my midsection seems to have gone down a little bit. I feel some soreness in my upper arm/ bat wing area which I am so excited about! That is one of my worst problem areas. I am overweight and it is difficult for me to do super tough body weight exercises, but I am working my way up to them. I used to try to do planks and i could barely make it past 10 seconds lol so I am glad that i can finally hold it for the basic thirty seconds. I have been working my arms out at the gym and I think that has helped me build up to being able to plank for 30 seconds.
I have been doing each of these planks a couple of times a day for thirty seconds each! On the side plank, i do thirty seconds on each side.
I'm not sure if this would be considered a plank, but i have been doing this for thirty seconds as well. :)
