I did test myself not too long ago to see how long I could hold a plank position. I'm sure I didn't look bored either. It looks easier than it feels. I'm notorious for neglecting strength training if I don't have some specific plan for it. I didn't come up with a plan this month, and guess what, almost all my exercise has been running.

I did some P90x while training for a spring 2010 1/2 marathon and it focused alot on core strength. Beat my previous best time by about 10 min. That was the 20 valley 1/2 with all the monster hills up the escarpment too. So does it help? You betcha! Now how do ya fit that into an already packed schedule...?Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010562925876755413.post-59872241616992658452011-06-23T12:46:28.046-04:002011-06-23T12:46:28.046-04:00I'm totally going to watch that over the next ...I'm totally going to watch that over the next few days! the problem with not having TV is that I never know what's on! sounds like a neat documentary. <br />as for planks... BRUTAL. I know what you're talking about! My yoga instructor used to make us hold them for nearly 2 whole minutes while shifting raising each leg back and forth.<br />I really want to try now, it's been awhile. Good for you for holding it!Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745442527137426283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010562925876755413.post-82076147004933670482011-06-23T10:26:20.719-04:002011-06-23T10:26:20.719-04:00Cindy was telling our yoga group that the "yo...Cindy was telling our yoga group that the "yoga for runners" program that she recently completed was all about the importance of runners developing a strong core.<br /><br />And two of the most important poses?<br /><br />Downward dog and ...
