Happy Planks

[Sally PB]

When I laugh, I can still feel my abs from the 2 minutes. Wonder if I can do it again...?

I laugh while I'm doing them.

 

[Sally PB]

If I laughed, I'd collapse.

I can't believe I did this.

I'm going to bed now. I'll lie on my back and smile as I feel my abs tighten up. They'll relax by morning. Oh well.

Day #2. I did worse today but I was also tired when I did it. I think I could have made it little longer

I thought I was motivated by @Sally PB but this will take practice!!
Thanks for motivating healthy habits, @Kiki!

I kept telling myself that if Sally can do it I can…nope, I can’t. That’s as far as I got

Alright I kinda want to address something along the lines of planking.
Is it just me or does anybody else feel like some of it has to do with mindset? Cause if I'm mid Plank and Katy perry decides to make an uninvited entrance in to my regular schedule of fairly heavy metal, it feels like my abs turn to jelly whereas on the other hand, I was pissed off at someone when I did my sets today and by imagining they were gonna blow raspberries on my stomach if I dropped, I successfully achieved my longest time so far. Coincidence?! I think not!!!

I don't watch the time. I count my breaths, and purposely breath in and out slowly.

Here's the mind game part: The first ten breaths are the easiest. It's easy to count to ten. So I don't count to twenty or thirty, I count to ten twice or thrice.

I just try to beat people's time. I'm competitive so that's more than enough motivation for me.
I didn't do any planks yesterday because I decided to give my core and knees a break. My whole body has felt like jelly these past few days. I did a high protein day for recovery tho

1st plank:

2nd plank:

During the second plank my lower back started to ache, not sure if that's normal.
