That is awesome and sounds like she is well on her way to a successful adulthood. <br />I have been doing more planks than my pictures tell. Sometimes they are just not picture worthy. Which reminds me I need to schedule myself a pedi! I skipped a pro doing them when I had to change colors and you can really tell!

I think it's better to do shorter planks with near-perfect form than long planks incorrectly (my opinion). If you feel the burn, you're dong them correctly...so the length of time is not crucial (but obviously, the longer you can hold it, the better) ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-23802216626287101732016-09-12T22:56:43.315-05:002016-09-12T22:56:43.315-05:00I graduated from U of I "a long time ago"...I graduated from U of I "a long time ago" as well.
