January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 18

January Plank Challenge

Day 18 of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge is here, and it’s time for another round of the plank exercise. Today’s goal is to do a 65, 130, or 195-second plank, depending on your fitness level. The plank is a great exercise for strengthening and toning the muscles in your core, including your abs, back, and hips, and it’s important to start slowly and gradually increasing the duration as you get stronger to avoid injury.

If you’re just starting out with the plank exercise, Level 1 (65 seconds) may be a good place to begin. Or increase the duration to Level 2 (130 seconds) or Level 3 (195 seconds) if you are already used to the plank exercise. Remember to keep your body in a straight line and avoid sagging or arching your back as you hold the plank position. Keep your core muscles engaged and try to maintain good form throughout the exercise.

It’s natural to feel intimidated by the length of time required for the plank exercise, but remember that it’s all mind over matter. You are mentally prepared for the challenge, and you have the strength and determination to succeed. Don’t let the seconds scare you – just focus on maintaining good form and proper breathing as you hold the plank position. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
