10 min PLANK. First thing in the AM. Then before Bed. On Elbows.

Ten minute static front plank? Video or it didn't happen. I've heard if you can do 3min front and 3 min each side (on elbows) without rest or movement, you'll never have back problems. I believe it, but I've never met or seen anybody capable.

I started with 1 min and worked my way upto 10 min. Elbows. It was TOUGH in the beginning. My WHOLE core ( abs , back side) area was sore, but then i just got used to it. Sometimes i'll add a weighted vest. You can do it. WR is 8 hours and change.

The world record is eight HOURS. Ten minutes is well within the realm of the easily achievable.
