[toastythemosty]

Anyone do this...use weights for plank work? I tried using 10 lbs on my back yesterday and it went well. Really feel the ole' abs contracting hard. Love it!

Just be careful as you could be putting extra stress on your lower back......Carole

Honestly, I do listen to my body. I don't feel like I am hurting myself. If the weight is too heavy and my back starts to bother me, my body will let me know and I will listen. 10 lbs is not too bad for me, but thanks for caring and sharing your thoughts. They are always much appreciated!!!

Hey Charlotte, how do you do that? I mean, get the weight on your back? I give you points for coordination

I often do crunch work w/ weights but I'm facing the other way!

Debbie,

I called my daughter in to put the plate on my back. She gladly did.

Debbie,

He will think he is riding a horse...getty up, mommy! He might be having fun, but I am not so sure you will. You will have to decide for yourself. LOL!

Charlotte,

That's just plain sadistic!

So did you put the weight on your upper back, between the shoulders?

Tina,

LOL!:9

No, not between the shoulders, but on the lower back. It really wasn't that bad. Really!

By the way Charlotte, please keep all of your new and innovative ideas to yourself, so Cathe doesn't get new ideas of how to torture us.

You know we are all going to go give this a try now. I am a little afraid of where the plate will land when I ask my 3-yr old to put it on me!!!:7

 

[toastythemosty]

Tina,

I was just thinking the same thing! LOL! I can think of some more though for Cathe, if you like? Just kidding!
