Planks Planks Planks

Everything I read these days seems to be talking about planks. When I was younger it was push-ups. And then it was crunches. Now planks are in.
Well tonight I decided to see what all the fuss was about. My mindset going in was… It’s like a push-up, but without the ‘push’, so it should be a LOT easier. Just my style.
I was wrong. Totally different set of muscles here, folks. I believe I was even working muscles that I’m not entirely sure I have.
I did 3 planks of 30 seconds each. By the end of the last plank I thought I might die. Or have a stroke.
Thankfully I’m still alive. And I have made a vow to myself to keep planking. Hopefully I will be able to hold it for 45 seconds or maybe even a full minute soon.
