Day 180 Planking Report

in life •  6 years ago 


I started a challenge of taking 100 days off to mainly focus on my health and overall personal development and used this account as a personal blog. I enjoyed it to the extend where I turned it into a year long challenge were I try to find a good balance between health, work and my personal life...

The first week of september I joined the planking challenge here on Steemit organised by @plankstoplanks as a way to make it into a core workout month. Were I did each new plank variation on a daily basis last week, I saved them all up to do them in a single day on Sunday. (See all variations).

This week it was bosu week. I did not even know what that was, but I once bought myself a balance board as it seemed like a fun toy. I had not used it in a long time so it was nice to see it finally get some purpose. While not all variations were possible with the balance board, I did find ways to do all of them (except the plank jacks since I used a chair that was a bit too high and unstable to do those). What I mostly aim to get out of these is some variations that I actually enjoy to add to my routine. Where I only used to do normal low planks, I also leaned side planks, shoulder tap planks and this week some variations I can do using my balance board that also seem to work out my legs. (mountain climber, grashopper, step-out plank that are all options to add into my routine).

While the intention was to break down my muscles a bit and feel them the day after, I did not really push myself enough to get to that point. The plan this week is to do the variations I learned and like during the week along with some knee-ups on my power station and make sunday again into the day I try out all new variations.

Planking is something that so many people seem to struggle with, yet I have always found it rather easy and for lengthy periods of time too... in fact I was also greatly impressed by how long my little 8 year old boy could manage it too.

I love watching kids move (or not move in the case of a plank, haha). It makes you realize what our bodies are capable of if we continue to stay active and fit!

great work there !

The balance board is a great tool to use for some of these! Excellent adaptation. So happy to hear you are enjoying doing some of the different varieties. And thanks again for continuing to share the challenge! 😀
