Today is the day for your 5 minute plank! Congratulations - you did it! For those of you who are reaching the end of the challenge today, a great way to keep up your abdominal strength and planking stamina is to do the following plank sequence (without rest, if you can). For those who are just starting the challenge, or who are partway through the challenge, you can also utilize this sequence during the challenge, if you are finding it difficult to maintain one position the entire time.

The plank is one of the most effective total body moves out there.  Congratulations on conquering the FitForceFX Plank Challenge and doing something really good for your body! 💪🌟👍 Full version viewable on my blog and Facebook page (link in bio). If you'd like to start the 30 day challenge, you can find it pinned to the top of my Facebook page.

Surviving That 5 Minute Plank

About surviving that 5 minute plank: If you started the FitForceFX Plank Challenge with me on the first of this month, then you are at 4.5 minutes and tomorrow is the big day! You are almost there! Congratulations – you rock! If you joined us late, took a break (aka “forgot” to do your planks) or are just starting the Challenge now, you’ve got this! Here are some tips to survive the challenge… 1) Settle in and watch a music video on your iphone (placed on the floor in front of you – don’t strain your neck). This helped me immensely the last time I did this challenge and I made it to 5.5 minutes! Holding a plank for this long is not only physically taxing, but mentally taxing as well. I found it easier when I could take my mind off the pain and deflect the boredom.

2) Recruit your favorite cheerleaders. I had my kids and husband cheering me on to the last second!

The 5 minute plank is a paradox in that you are using relative inactivity to challenge and strengthen your abdominal muscles. It’s super TOUGH! But so are YOU! If you find you need to modify to get through it, switch your position or drop to your knees. Don’t compromise your form! It’s better to modify than to compromise form and potentially injure yourself.

Choose Kindness

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama

Even in the midst of challenging, distressing circumstances, kindness is possible. Several months ago I dealt with a very difficult and distressing situation (saga?) and am proud to say that I was kind throughout the ordeal. Was it easy? Not in the slightest – far from it. But I look back and feel good about myself. We often discount kindness as something weak or naïve, but kindness requires patience, courage and generosity.
Kindness can change someone’s entire day.

Kindness can restore hope.
Kindness is no joke.
And remember that what goes around comes around! Research has shown that being kind to others increases our own levels of happiness as well. What’s more, kindness has a ripple effect – kindness is contagious, so it makes a bigger impact on our surroundings than we might think. Who knows how far your kindness can float! Happy Friday, All!

I love to hear feel good kindness stories, so please share yours! No act of kindness is too insignificant.
