The 5 Hour Plank Held by a 57 Year Old

All I can say is wow, 5 minutes would be awesome really.

 

[AZ Jim]

More than just awesome. This is one bad dude.

He's a Marine. Enough said.

 

[Ameriscot]

Amazing! I'm still at 20 seconds!

Never heard of a "plank". But, whatever, my toes would be the first to give out. There must be other ways to exercise.

The first time I tried it I did terrible at it but I'm up to about a minute now. That's a tough exercise even though your aren't moving. And Falcon, it's your shoulders and upper arms that suffer first and then you start sagging in the middle. So it's a good one for those areas and I think is mainly touted as a way of strengthening your core muscles.

Yep!

My toes don't do well with that kind of action, whether it be planks or yoga.

A plank strengthens you're entire middle section. This includes your back.

We keep our planks in hubby's shed. :grin:
