I do these.
I can do about 1 1/2 minutes and I usually do 3 reps in between my 20 pushups, which are also 3 reps.
Plank is very good for your core. Doing these along with push ups give you a strong body.

Too funny Saint!!! I think they are an original "guys" workout. You know the fitness trainer that teaches body builder's.Saint wrote:Just a question???? Are these also beneficial for guys too. Please be gentle with your answer.
My ex-trainer (is a good looking body builder) who taught me all of these. He tells me that many men struggle with these. Only thing make sure your torso is perfectly straight. Don't push your body up or lower it too much. Must be straight across like a board.
Yes all people should be doing these. In fact they should be teaching this to kids in school for gym class. Especially high school.
Was that gentle enough?
Ponee, when you get really good you can lift one keen to your chest and back down to position and then the other lift the other one. LOL...I know sounds crazy but it builds even more strength.

Re: Planking for Body Fitness
Start off slow Saint. Don't push it. If you do the same number of seconds for a week who cares. At least you are doing them. I do them until I crash but I like to see the numbers on my iphone.
I used to have a trainer and he would say 5 more seconds, then 5 more seconds, so he would keep me focused and going. It's hard to do it on your own when nobody is looking.
Glad you are getting in shape. It's good for a longer life. :cheers:
Besides, you need to fit into that speedo to compete with Caye don't you?
