Plank That!

So lately I've been better about working out a little bit, with emphasis on little! When I watch TV I've been doing crunches and some light arm toning! Well I've also been timing myself with planks! Those unfamiliar with planks I will post a picture (just one I found on google). My new record is 2 minutes 8 seconds!! I know it doesn't sound like much but trust me...it's better than it sounds! I'm proud of myself tonight so I had to post it! If you haven't tried them, give them a shot! It basically works your whole body in one position, though planks aren't just done in the position shown. My next challenge, side planks! Whew!

This is an example of a plank
(When you haven't been faithful at working out, it's harder than it looks!)
