PLANKS, GLORIOUS PLANKS !

Bernard

Hi All,

Since doing my 'easier' planks for the first time on Wednesday night, at the end of Cardio Max, I amazed at how much my abs still ache - I mean, my abs feel like I did a long ab work out targeting the upper and lower abs, and I don't think I have ever had any nice aches in my lower abs after an ab workout ? Planks are truly amazing - what an invention ? And Annette, you are right, I can feel it right inside my lower abs :-wow :-wow :-wow. And for me personally, they are better than straining myself doing crunches ! Might have to buy AB HITS in November (Ho Hum, wasn't supposed to be buying any more videos this side of Christmas, but I can't resist !!!!!!!!!! :-jumpy).

What does everyone else feel about planks ?
Oh, and before I forget, doing those planks has made me more aware of my ab muscles, which after having 3 babies, and being stretched out of all proportion, is a good thing, because sometimes it is hard to feel anything when doing crunches, even when my positioning is correct :)

Hello Anna,

The only planks I do is the one in Power Hour, that's the one on your elbows.

I like that and it does make you stronger. I used to do the same thing in yoga.

RE: ANNA / BERNARD: for your eyes only

Hi, Anna! (It still weirds me out that your screen name is Bernard and your real name is Anna!)

I have a sporting proposition for you!

I agree...

...planks are incredible! I had a baby 9 months ago and after using Cathe's Ab Hits in addition to my regular workouts has made a WORLD of difference! It took me quite a while to work up to the advanced positions, but once I started doing them earnestly...blamo...my core started to get firm FAST!

In the beginning, when I couldn't really do much with planks, I wasn't seeing the real benefits...but now, it's amazing. Planks hit muscles in the abs that I didn't know I had.

Love, love, love Ab Hits, Cathe...this forum...my body. It's wonderful.

Great post!
 
RE: I agree...

Oh Debbie!

How I wish I had not read that!!!! I'm in the process of switching from video to DVD and ordering Cathe's DVD's like there's no tomorrow. Now I'm afraid I'm going to have to order Ab Hits!:-jumpy
Thank goodness I have an understanding hubby! Just wish I could get him to workout with me like your DH does. I do have him doing planks and supermans, though. Guess that's a start, huh?

Her eyes, but what about my abs???

You know AJ (may I call you that?), this is killing me, WHAT PROPOSITION???? If Bernard is going to get fabulous abs from this, don't you think you owe it to all of us Aquajock fans to share this undoubtedly incredible peice of AQA genius?????? x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x(

Briee

Bet you didn't know you had a fan club eh????
 
Hey Sherry!

Do you have the "S&H" series? Tell him you just want him to try one tape and make it either the BIS & TRIS, or the CHEST & BACK. Or...you/he can even do just ONE body part. My DH really likes the S&H. Actually, he realy likes "PS" too. I know the hard part is getting them into the workout room just to try it. I never in a million years thought mine would stick to it, but he loves the Cathe strength tapes!!! Good Luck & keep me posted! (he likes the CTX body parts too!:7 Can you tell I've got him hooked???)
