My entry to the Actifit Plank Competition

I was browsing @phoenixwren's blog when I came across her recent post where, with the help of a cat named Yuan, a world record winning plank was attempted!

Now I always love these types of tests of human endurance, so I decided to look to the official contest post and enter!

In my first attempt, I achieved a time of 1:26 and what I think is a very funny video, which can be seen here:

But then I scrolled down on the official @actifit contest post, and saw @vidafitnessfeliz's entry, of 1:55! That's a whole lot of seconds longer than mine!

I also noticed that maybe I was doing it wrong, and that I should not arch my back as much, instead letting it curve 'over the top'.

So let's try it again!

Here I am, now inside, using a rug, and attempting to breech the two minute mark. I could still feel the effects of the first attempt while I was beginning...

First I had to test out what I learned about form....

_{Too high}

_{Too low}

_{Just right!}

With that attempt I raise my score to 2:25, and with that I am pooped!

Activate body, mind and spirit!
