If you haven't done them before now, start out trying to hold it for maybe 15 seconds (or longer). Each time you plank, try holding it for 5-10 seconds longer. I have found that even when I think I just can't hold it any longer, I can usually go an extra 5 seconds longer...I bet you could, too!Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-2375654543289805192015-11-06T09:21:43.801-06:002015-11-06T09:21:43.801-06:00I need to do planks more often but I hate them!

Before long, you'll be amazed at how long you can hold the position (just make sure to be holding everything nice & tight as you do so). If your ankle is giving you trouble, you could try balancing the top of your feet (not your toes) on a foam roller (or a yoga block)...that might take some pressure off the feet/ankles. Good luck ;-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-68737212845242978992015-11-03T11:30:17.812-06:002015-11-03T11:30:17.812-06:00Planks are one killer workout!

I am aways in awe of people like you who can make them look easy!<br />I have tried them a few times, not enough to actually build my upper body and core to make them look well:) But now I am thinking I really should incorporate them more into my weekly routines, I can't run as much as I want right now so I need to do stuff like this that isn't as much pressure on my ankle.Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-48253795712873919322015-11-03T07:11:19.230-06:002015-11-03T07:11:19.230-06:00Yes, do give some of the modified positions a try!...Yes, do give some of the modified positions a try!
