http://www.girlwithnoname.com/2009/03/walking-the-plank/ I work hard at health, fitness & nutrition. I work out primarily at home and share with you what I do, how I do it, what motivates me & what inspires me. I get into the nitty gritty of my trials & tribulations, barriers & obstacles. And when I realize a success, hard-won or otherwise, you'll be the first to know about it!

I wanted to tell you about the plank competition at the gym I go to. Most of us are around the 2-5 minute mark. But, one guy did a 10+ minute plank only to be beaten a few days later by a woman who did a 12+ minute plank. Yikes!! Where will it all end? Competition is great. Hi Jackie,

Nothing is worse than wearing cushioning shoes (e.g. running shoes) when lifting. If you wear shoes when lifting weights buy something like Chuck Taylors or other flat soled shoes. If you don't mind looking a bit strange you can even buy Vibram Five Fingers. Cushioning or higher heels can leed to faulty movement patters which can leed to all kind of strange problems in the legs and sometimes even problems in the lower back.
