January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 9

January Plank Challenge

Day 9 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 35, 70, or 105-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 (35 seconds) may be a good place to begin. Or if that sounds easy, choose between Level 2 (70 seconds) or Level 3 (105 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.

Holding your own body weight in the plank position is no easy feat, and it’s important to remember that it’s you against yourself only. Don’t compare your progress to anyone else’s – just focus on your own progress and work towards gradually increasing the duration of your plank. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
