January Plank Challenge (PlankAwayJanuary)

PlankAwayJanuary Day 5

January Plank Challenge

Day 5 of the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge is here, and today’s goal is to do a 20, 40, or 60-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 (20 seconds) may be a good place to begin. Or if you are a frequent gym goer you can choose between Level 2 (40 seconds) or Level 3 (60 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.

You may have set some new year’s resolutions for yourself, but the #Plankawayjanuary plank challenge is one that you can definitely keep. It’s a simple and effective way to improve your core strength and overall fitness, and it’s a commitment that you can easily fit into your daily routine. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. Happy planking!
