Plank party!!!

[rydra_wong]

Yesterday, I stumbled across this fun little thing:

The 5-Minute Plank

It's actually 20 different plank variations held for 15 seconds each, and it's kind of awesome.

It's much less strenuous than trying to hold a single variation for that long, so it's not as appalling as it sounds; it's also scalable (so you can do each variation for 5 seconds or 10 seconds or whatever's feasible for you.).

ETA: I rec muting the video, which has an annoying little music loop repeating endlessly, and playing your own music of choice. Much more entertaining.

Oh wow, that looks awesome. I tend to fail at planks as much through boredom as effort (I have sadly learned that it is entirely possible to be bored while your arms feel like they're about to give out), and this looks like a good way to bypass that. Thank you!

I have only just started trying planks, so this might be a good way not to feel like I'm hopeless? I'll give it a try anyway, thanks.
