Plankathon
8 01 2012
I’ve seen people tweeting #plankaday (sorry Shaun. Shaun HATES seeing hashtags) for a while now and kept wanting to join in, but kept putting it off. Which is stupid really, because planking doesn’t take very long. Especially for me. I am the first to collapse in a heap or cheat and go onto my knees when we do the plank in body pump. I did try to get out of it yesterday by claiming that I had just had a shower and had clean clothes on but Rachel said that was no excuse. So I did my first #plankaday yesterday and kept it going for a whopping 19.6 seconds. Today I managed 31.5. Whoop. If you don’t know what planking is or want to find out more about #plankaday, you can find out here.
But I haven’t just plankathoned for Janathon as that would be really feeble. I also cycled 7ish miles by taking the very long way round to the farm shop (which is only a mile away).
Stats
Plank: 31.5 seconds

Not to be confused with the internet phenomenon that is ‘planking’ where people just lie on the fronts stiff like a plank. Purely for comedic purposes.

Yay. Planking is fab! Well done!

I didn’t realise the difference between planking (in random) and #plankaday – thanks for pointing this out. Might give it a try now!

I like the sound of planking; I think it’s what I do just after a plank.

Oh that’s perfect – I’m in too.
Cue much screaming as I attempt to hold out for 30 secs.

I don’t like planks – 30 secs is my best. I’m doing full press-ups instead – up to 2 now

you should see the weird floating plank my dodgy instructer made me do today

Ah, read this after I posted comment to your other blog entry… thanks for the link. Jo365 had Tweeted me the link maybe 6 months ago, but I lost it! I think it’s finally time… time for me to work on some core planking… thanks to multiple suggestion from fellow June/Janathoners!
