@Tart Cherry Jam - Planks are hard! I'm trying to start practicing them even when they are not in my pilates videos and on days I walk. I can only hold a plank 35-40 sec. I want to at least work up to 1 min, but it is so difficult for me.
Once again, it was below freezing outside this morning, frost on the ground so I did pilates again and practiced the plank. Man, those planks are so hard for me! I don't know if it's because I had stomach surgery in the past (repair of a perforated ulcer) and the scar tissue makes it harder, or if I am just that much out of shape in my abs!
