Plank one and a half minutes a day 3 x 30 seconds? for beginners or 45 minutes by the 31st

"Bit quiet in here"

We're all busy squatting....

A bit like midnight tonight, when half the forumites will be squatting because they're blind drunk and vomming....

Not me of course - I am an afferleet

Wotsit - stop laughing!

And I bet she's superglued to the mat!!

(works for me)

I look like I'm doing some weird yoga move squatting like this - and its giving Mr LB ideas!

 I ain't needin' no strength training. I weight trained heavily for years but then switched to running (running is much more fun).  I suppose that's why I'm not fast though - still carrying too much muscle.

 I'm a lone runner now (prefer it to be just me, the hills, and my ipod), but I used to be a member of a running club. One time the coach told us to do 100m on the track, stop and do 20 pushups, then another 100m and another 20 pushups, and so on. I think this was for about 2 laps (800m).

I was not one of the fast runners at the club (my fastest ever mile is 6:38). I used to get thrashed on anything over 100 or 200m as the other guys there were just far superior runners, but when the pushups were introduced, I finished so far ahead of the rest it was embarrassing. Nobody else in the club had any upper body strengh. I was banging out 20 perfect pushups in no time while all the rest were straining to do pushups that were no where near a correct pushup.

OK, well, thanks for letting us know.

FWIW, IMHO, I think there's a lot to be said for regular strength training, which is why I'm in.

I'll be here tomorrow - late afternoon I think though because I've got to go somewhere for a big lunch.

We are going to be ripped/buff/cut or whatever the current expression is folks!

remember if you miss tomorrow double on Saturday hahahaha

OK a couple of caveats for new peeps

1.5 minutes or 3 minute Planks doesn't mean all in one go break it down into managable chunks 30 - 60 seconds and build up

same with the squats if you cant do 50 - 100 straight off break into 10 or 15 chunks do some in the morning and some at night

I  did with the pressups, broke them down into 20- 25s and did a few when no one was looking at work

I shall bow to your greater street jargon knowledge you are obviously more "down wid da kidz" then me

Actually I got it from Armstrong and Miller

Errm, correction, think that should be "Actually, I got it from Armstrong and Miller, innit, blud / blood"
