Also, does it count if I do it now, even though I've already downed three sizable glasses of Cabernet?

I would say you get double points! That has got to take some serious effort!

[nannygoat]

I made it to a minute. My incision felt like it was going to rip open!

[nannygoat]

I'm laughing so hard at this already. mgk207 and @kc295905 you guys are cracking me up!

Uh oh! Are you safe to do planks?

I would think so... Probably just feeling the burn different since those nerves are effed up now.

Wow. You guys haven't even come close to 14 minutes.

Stop making me laugh! I'm gonna wake the baby!

1:15. Yikes! I hate that my wrists seem to want to give out before anything else...

[2jelplus1]

I wanted to play because I actually did my first real workout in a year today (spin class at soul cycle) and my 2 glasses of rose plus wine multiplier are making me think planking is a good idea despite the fact that my body is already wiped. Off to attempt today's plank with timer, will report back in 15-20 seconds

[2jelplus1]

1:02, and whatever muscle is under my left armpit feels like it's about to rip off.

[serunatu]

Shoooot. I just got home from work so I missed it. I will do both tomorrow. First in the am second in the pm.

[apsalartoll]

2:45. But I did it on my fists because my wrists couldn't take it.

[jesster88]

Busy evening yesterday so starting today. My max is 1:45. I'll have to rest a bit before doing today's challenge.

[amyface813]

I think I could do 1x60 seconds... We'll see when LO is done nursing.

[karebear2]

Ok, I'm joining you guys. I have about 3 mins to spare, if I even last that long.

[karebear2]

1:27 before I collapsed on the floor. This is harder than it looks

[gdaniels77]

Dag nabbit, I forgot to do it before I left the house! I'm jumping on the bandwagon today though.

[nannygoat]

Did today's! Ouch! Had to do most of it modified.

[gdaniels77]

1:16 for yesterday's, I'm such a lump. Gonna do today's in a little while when I don't feel like I'm going to die anymore.

But if preggo @kelsz12 can work out 5 days a week we've got no excuse!

[amyface813]

I did the first minute of today's but I needed a 10 minute break instead of 30 seconds. Now onto round two.

[beckyrosen]

You people who can hold a plank over a minute are rock stars. I got 40 seconds (and that was haaaard )

MH was watching me do it and by 30 seconds he was like "Just stop already. Just stop. Seriously, you can STOP! WHY ARE YOU KILLING YOURSELF OVER A PLANK??" And I was like "Must. Do. Well. For D14 huzzah!" and fell over.

[apsalartoll]

Today's was tough. I'd look at the clock and think it was well past halfway, but actually it was just 20 seconds in. By the end of the 3rd set my abs were done.

[nannygoat]

Today's is the same set as yesterday, except you alternate knee to opposite elbow.

Ugh. Can I give up now? Or is it too early still?

[nannygoat]

My lats are killing me already and I haven't even done day 3 yet!

Must be working?

Or I'm just really out of shape. I couldn't figure out why they were hurting, then I remembered it was from this! I though my kid was just getting too heavy. Haha

[amyface813]

Yesterday was easier than today! Deciding to do them after 9PM was a bad call. Tomorrow I will do better!

[jesster88]

My arms are getting tired before my abs I thought carrying around a baby was arm workout enough

This. Probably a sign that I should lay off the lactation cookies a bit.

Yep. My arms are more sore than my abs? Whaa? And pulsing planks today?!

So basically push ups? I didn't sign up for push ups.

No you pulse your legs not your arms

Oh! Ok. But I don't get how you do that... I'll have to look it up later.

[chicorojo]

I keep looking at this thread thinking I should jump on in and then I'm like nah planks suck.
Good job ladies !
