Re: Plank position

LOL I thought you were isssueing us a push up challenge as except for the bent elbows that looks like my toes on the ball posisiton for our ball pushup challenge jimmie 48 has issued. so doing that works our abs too???

I do my upper abs on the layback machine in the gym. The trainers said to keep your back, neck, and head in a straight line and your hands off your neck. Folk who don't get balls tossed at them to make them focus on keeping the head up to see and the hands off the neck to catch the ball. doing the lower abs on the roman chair keeps your hands off your neck too as you are staning on your forearms in that device

That bottom machine KILLS me. I can do lots and lots of crunches on my own. But I cannot hold my body up like that for very long. I end up hurting my neck and shoulder area!! My shoulders end up scrunched around my ears before I can get to 20 crunches!

LOL Barbe when I started I was hurting more in the shoulders and arms then in the abs when I did my 3 sets of 12 but as the weeks wnet by if all wnet away and I noticed the plates on my shoulder presses were going up higher too.

Oh amn Sadie where were those directions when I was trying to see how long I could do it for.

Re: Plank position

Since you posted that first time I have been trying to do these every night to see if I can build up my time. I can really feel it in the lower tummy when done.
