So I've fallen back in love with planking. In an effort to continue to increase my plank skills, I've decided to work on the following:

1. Static Plank Pose
Guidelines: Hold an elbow plank for as long as possible. Hold a top-of-pushup plank for as long as possible. Aim to increase the time you are holding your plank for by five seconds a day.

2. Dynamic Plank Poses
Guidelines: Cycle through an elbow plank and top-of-pushup plank. A full cycle should consist of a four count beat. From a top plank: 1) down onto one elbow, 2) down on both elbows, 3) up on one hand, 4) up on both hands to return to a top plank position. Perform this cycle as many times as possible and aim to add a second set of reps each week, bringing you to four full sets by the end of the challenge. Increase reps as possible.
