January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 21

January Plank Challenge

Day 21 of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge is here, and it’s time for another round of the plank exercise. Today’s goal is to do an 80, 160, or 240-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 (80 seconds) may be a good place to begin. If this feels easy, ramp it up to Level 2 (160 seconds) or Level 3 (240 seconds). 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.

As you finish up week 3 of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge, you may notice that the exercise is getting harder. But remember that you are getting stronger as well, not just physically but also mentally. A stronger core makes your whole body more solid and stable and can improve your overall fitness and performance in other activities. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
