January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 12

January Plank Challenge

Day 12 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 45, 90, or 135-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 (45 seconds) may be a good place to begin. Or if you are a regular gym goer, choose between Level 2 (90 seconds) or Level 3 (135 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.

It’s natural to feel a burning sensation as you hold the plank position for an extended period of time, but try not to let it get to you. Just focus on your breathing and try to maintain good form as you hold the plank. Remember that the burn is a sign that you are working your muscles and improving your core strength and endurance. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
