You can also mix it up, do a full side plank and then drop your bottom knee to the floor when you tire. Good form is important.

Video was fine for me. So our mate George says 'technique trumps time', well if that's the case he's not going to get me doing front to side to side without putting my knees down!
He shows the best technique which is switching between front to side to side by rolling between the transitions, but then he shows regressions which include putting your knees down in front plank, knees down during transition and one leg bent during side plank. Think I might be using them very soon!

Ah yes - it would have been a good idea to watch the video first - much simpler doing the Regression Version.

I survived day 2, and lunchtime yoga today I do think that straight arm planks (like i am used to in yoga) are in some ways easier. My carpet is very uncomfortable on the forearms. And very dirty. I wonder if the cleaning fairies will pay a visit?

Little Nemo - this kitten can
Stomach was v. sore this morning and the idea of doing 3 sets of planks continuously is making me wibble! I'm at work now so this will have to wait until I get home.
I'm off to check out the video for the full horror!
