January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 19

January Plank Challenge

Day 19 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 70, 140, or 210-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 (70 seconds) may be a good place to begin. Or challenge yourself further to increase the duration to Level 2 (140 seconds) or Level 3 (210 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 enter the last two weeks of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge, you may notice a steady climb in the duration of the plank exercise. Don’t let this discourage you – remember that you are stronger than you think, and you have the strength and determination to succeed. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
