Hi joanna ive been doing this plank challenge for almost a month now and wow!! You are so right i can see a big difference in my abs!!! Thanksss a lot! Muaaah!
hey Joanna great video , i have aquestion pls i wanna get rid of my lower belly fat should i do the plank only or ur 90 sec lower belly or combine them both for best results?
Thanks I'll try that next time. But I have a big butt, so naturally I have a sink in that area which makes it harder to hold without putting pressure on my lower back.
Barbara Cooke This is just not true. You do not "naturally have to sink in that area", you need to strengthen the muscles that support your back in a natural neutral position the way the spinal bones are meant to align. Don't give in to what "feels easy" now, a few weeks of training and a proper flat plank will feel normal again. If in doubt if you are doing it right (ie: experiencing a lot of pain) you might consider paying for a session with a personal training just to check your form.
Barbara Cooke You need to start by getting strong from feet up , push heels back , tighten your leg muscles followed by tightening of glutes (hips) muscles and active back suck in belly which means activate yr abdominal muscles .. Similarly keep shoulders active which means do not allow your body to sink between your shoulders .. and breathe .... If you are able to hold all these muscular contractions isometrically for some period of time Only then should you try to do it for 5 mins ... It looks easy in video but we forget the amount of preparation that has gone into bringing her body to a level of fitness to be able to do this ... If you are not ready for it , you will only end up hurting yourself .
Wow! This is harrrrd! My tummy started shaking as soon as I got in plank position and midway through the third plank I caved lol. Even if I have to pause this video and take breaks I'm determined to get through it. What a challenge!!!
This is very awesome!! After two weeks of doing planking challenge I saw a big difference with my tummy... 😊😀 I really love this. Waistline from 31.5 inches down to 29 inches.. 💪
I managed to complete the challenge at my 4-th attempt even though I was doing classical situps before. This is just different type of abs workout and more efficient I believe. I am doing this workout regularily(2-3 times a week) maybe for three months and each time it's easier and easier for me to withstand all the way through, to the end. This is an exellent combination of planks. I am a male, and I know those are women's exercises on Your channel, but I believe this particular challenge is enough for men too, at least for those who want to maintain the shape.
Yes! It's probably the most difficult exercise in this routine for me. And I've done at least one other routine that also incorporated it, and had the same challenge-it was one of the most difficult things to do with how much arm strength it requires. 😅
with the down and up plank .. i lost my balance while iam doing it .. and i think i hurt my right arm. and while iam trying ti do it again my arm keep hurts me ..
Just finished this workout, took a short rest, and did a min and half of rocking planks, and I'm certainly feeling it! New goal: Do this workout twice in a row (maybe with short break in between).
I love doing the plank but I didn't know there was so many different types! I'm definitely going to try this...and probably be too sore to get up tomorrow but its a working progress!! :P
Been planking much easier than this for about 6 months. Yesterday I increased the intensity to slowly work my way up to this because this looks intense! Maybe I should just go for it and collapse when I cannot continue until I can do it like one of the comments. That comment says keep trying until you can complete this took 3 weeks daily. Maybe I could do it in a month because I only plank 4 days a week (Mon Tue Thurs Fri)...
Same here-my focus right now is on my abs, but my arms were the thing suffering the most here. XD Funnily enough, they also seem to be the area that's benefitted the most with the various workouts I've been doing.
Thanks Joanna! My son (he is 9) and I have been doing this a few times a week and getting stronger. I like that you insert the side planks into the middle of the workout for a little "rest".
Hi Joanna! I'm already sufficiently fit and am just looking to tone my abs a little further - if I am physically capable, is there a drawback to doing this routine once per day? Or will results come quicker if I stick to your recommended 2 - 3 times per week? --Jordan
i did so much better than last time! :D guys/girls if you feel pain ALOT XD then that's great the effect is amazing and the more you try the easier it gets!
I've been doing a 30-day TH-cam workout video challenge for myself where I complete a different workout everyday for 30 days. The goal being to learn about what I like for working out and developing a routine where I workout everyday in the morning. I use Yoga videos for stretching or Restorative Yoga on my rest days to keep me in the habit and reap the benefits of deep stretching. I have used several of your videos and although they kick my behind every single time and I may need to take extra breaks they are easy to follow and I feel accomplished. Well organized with showing the time, the move, and not being overly chatty while doing the moves. I think when I'm done I am going to create a 30-days with Joanna workout. I really liked this one!! It was tough, but effective and I know to use it regularly would be beneficial. Does anyone use her videos regularly? If so what videos and what does your routine look like?
How would one scale this? Is it meant to be scaled in the first place? If so, do we extend the 30 second intervals or keep the intervals but extend the duration of the workout from 5 to maybe 10 then 15 then 20? Thanks!!
***** .. Love this workout and This workout is really difficult to do .. ! BTW, Will it help me to lose my belly fat and I'll be getting a flat stomach by doing this in 4 weeks ?
This is a good exercise set. During the up and down plank, if your spine is not straight, it is not much of a plank. Using a spotter might help in improving that, or slowing the pace there would be beneficial.
I can do it! I have been doing this workout once a day for 2 weeks now and I am already seeing results. I really love it haha. It is also quick ^^. I love your videos!
You are amazing Joanna. I love your videos. Actually i was doing these exercise along with hip raises. May be hip raises i did wrong way . Now, i have back ache since last 1 month and could not do any excercise more. Do you have any solution?
Hi Joanna , I face a problem , so not sure if it’s normal , during the plank my elbow starts hurting in folded position and I am not able to hold , is there a solution to it
It's very hard for me to perform ALTERNATE PLANK, could you please suggest me some easy method for performing it. Rest all are okay. Good job and nice plank challenge.
I did it, and I'm dead.
i did it again, and I'm deader
Same😵

hey Joanna great video , i have aquestion pls i wanna get rid of my lower belly fat should i do the plank only or ur 90 sec lower belly or combine them both for best results?

Sofia LaRosa I did it to conclude my thirty minute workout it is super intense.

+Jim McMullen Well done! :) Have you already seen results on your abs? :3

Murder, my poor back.
Thanks I'll try that next time. But I have a big butt, so naturally I have a sink in that area which makes it harder to hold without putting pressure on my lower back.

Thanks Parmanand, really appreciate your comment.
Welcome barbara :)
Wow! This is harrrrd! My tummy started shaking as soon as I got in plank position and midway through the third plank I caved lol. Even if I have to pause this video and take breaks I'm determined to get through it. What a challenge!!!
Tyra can you do it entirely now without difficulty? How long can u hold a static (side) plank now ?
Why did Google lead me to this from "exotic sex positions"?
HAHAHA
Why were you looking at exotic sex pillows lol
+Rowan Frost "erotic sex pillows" lmao
It’s my 4th day doing this plank challenge and this is the first time that I managed to complete the set without fail! Yahoo ❤️
This is very awesome!! After two weeks of doing planking challenge I saw a big difference with my tummy... 😊😀 I really love this. Waistline from 31.5 inches down to 29 inches.. 💪
WOW
Does anyone use SOH s videos regularly ? if so which ones and what are your results?
I managed to complete the challenge at my 4-th attempt even though I was doing classical situps before. This is just different type of abs workout and more efficient I believe.

When I was doing the reverse plank..my puppy was biting on my toes lol
dude when I exersize my dog jumps on me and it isn't good lol
Looool
damn girl, you're in shape!
The up and down plank is much harder than it looks.
Yeah, isn't it!?? But I'm still not gonna give up ;)
Nandar Mendes q£
I know, right?
Yes! It's probably the most difficult exercise in this routine for me. And I've done at least one other routine that also incorporated it, and had the same challenge-it was one of the most difficult things to do with how much arm strength it requires. 😅
hi ..mam....ur excerises are very helpful..thank u so much😊

I can't do this, OHhh MYyyyy! ****
May I request Miss Joanna a simple plank for beginners?
Anyone here have seen some results after 3 or 4 weeks? Just by doing this exercise (and eating well)??
I would like to request a twerk video. Shake it baby!
k
yes i fuckin killed it, main thing is keep your core tight and straight your body for the proper workout, excellent video btw
I'd like to plank with you every day until I die. Not because I like planking.
Just finished this workout, took a short rest, and did a min and half of rocking planks, and I'm certainly feeling it! New goal: Do this workout twice in a row (maybe with short break in between).
Great video, exactly what I was looking for, thank you! :)
PS: you are a real cutie, if I may!
I'm not sure about this workout, but I'm certainly smitten with Ms. Joh. OMG! She is adorable!
True
The plank is fucking solid (sorry for swearing)
I love doing the plank but I didn't know there was so many different types! I'm definitely going to try this...and probably be too sore to get up tomorrow but its a working progress!! :P
Thanks for killing me I loved it thank you very much
Omg this ia so far the best and doable NON-STOP 5min Plank Variations workouts for rookies I've come across. TQ
Joanna, why do my arms hurt more than my tummy? Am I doing it in wrong position?
+fayszeee SAME
lower your back and you should more in your stomach. I just tried it
***** thank you!!!
Try that
make sure your arms are either under or - even better - in front of your shoulders
Been planking much easier than this for about 6 months. Yesterday I increased the intensity to slowly work my way up to this because this looks intense!

Maybe I could do it in a month because I only plank 4 days a week (Mon Tue Thurs Fri)...
If my abs didn't feel it my arms certainly did! I really need to build some upper body straight
*strength
mine too. i had to stop bcz my arms killed me :/
Same here-my focus right now is on my abs, but my arms were the thing suffering the most here. XD Funnily enough, they also seem to be the area that's benefitted the most with the various workouts I've been doing.
I did it!!
I almost puked at 3:01
This one is my favourite plank workout . I still do it in 2021 and find a big difference on my tummy ❤️ thank you Joanna!
Nailed it!!! My hole body hurts!
omg it looks so easy.. but when i tried it out omg its sooooooooooooooo difficult.. how can u do this so easily.. im so impress
Thanks Joanna! My son (he is 9) and I have been doing this a few times a week and getting stronger. I like that you insert the side planks into the middle of the workout for a little "rest".
you are such a beautiful girl , and plank makes you more charming
I get such a high from this workout

Your incredible, I just planked and I have a long way to go :)
Very nice! I am 49 and have about 18% body fat and I am trying to get to 10% by my 50th birthday in October.
i love plankin everyday 😄😍
Thx for the video. Its awesome!!!
However i could not do the alternate plank. Is there any trick to getting this balanced?
I have the same problem! Couldnt balance!
i did so much better than last time! :D
guys/girls if you feel pain ALOT XD then that's great the effect is amazing and the more you try the easier it gets!
Well this December I started to try normal planking started from 20secs and +10secs everyday. Maybe I'll try to add this later.
I absolutely LOVED this challenge. I will try it tonite B4 Zumba class.
Based on this video alone....I subscribed! thanks
This is beautiful for the core!
Today is my first day and em doing only plank for 15 second 😀
I do this everyday for about 3 weeks now thank you it really helps a lot! :)

Does anyone use her videos regularly? If so what videos and what does your routine look like?
I feel light as a feather now but stronger to the core. Thanks!
Hi joanna
Does it need any body warm up before starting this plank excercise to reduce belly fat!???
Please reply
Thanks
How would one scale this? Is it meant to be scaled in the first place? If so, do we extend the 30 second intervals or keep the intervals but extend the duration of the workout from 5 to maybe 10 then 15 then 20? Thanks!!
***** .. Love this workout and This workout is really difficult to do .. ! BTW, Will it help me to lose my belly fat and I'll be getting a flat stomach by doing this in 4 weeks ?
HA! Camera cut with 1 minute left! I saw that!
Brad Grady LOL!
That was just a zoom in
You should alternate the hand that pushes you up for Nr. 6 "Plank up-down"! Good exercise but you have to do it right.
I use this and the squat challenge as my fitness test friday workouts.. to kind of examine my progress. It's hard, but eventually it becomes fun. :)
This is a good exercise set.
During the up and down plank, if your spine is not straight, it is not much of a plank.
Using a spotter might help in improving that, or slowing the pace there would be beneficial.
Hi Joan. kindly let me know the exercises for smaller chest.. pushups make by chest bigger.
I did it with you and im really starting to see results
Omg!! So hard hahaha especially first timer lol. Cant imagine its just 5mins!!
Lol
Wowwww this is tough ahhhhh
I can do it! I have been doing this workout once a day for 2 weeks now and I am already seeing results. I really love it haha. It is also quick ^^. I love your videos!
uhm there is bug in your video LOL maybe it also trying to get fit...right hand side peolpe just above the white strip of wall.
this is a super effective work out. i can definitely feel it.
my shoulders start hurting 2 minutes in and i have to stop, stretch and then continue......why is that, and what could I do to minimize the pain?
You are amazing Joanna. I love your videos. Actually i was doing these exercise along with hip raises. May be hip raises i did wrong way . Now, i have back ache since last 1 month and could not do any excercise more. Do you have any solution?
AGHHH...... how did she do it????????I did the first two position in a row, both for 30 sec and i'm sooooo tired
have tried the normal planking for 7 mins. I must surely try this variation. Can I do this daily?
Hi Joanna , I face a problem , so not sure if it’s normal , during the plank my elbow starts hurting in folded position and I am not able to hold , is there a solution to it
The ultimate abs
Done. Easier than her second challenge as less cardio. Still out of breath. Pleased 😅
I've got this click somewhere in my legs and hip and couldn't do the spiderman one.
I just worked out and took the rest.My leg are shaking so bad then i do this work out...totally failure i tell ya!
I'm so going to try this later! Though I think I will be dead half way through...
tried this for the first time today. Only lasted 3 minutes. Will try harder next time
The last exercise actually helps my triceps more than my abs
I'm definitely trying this :) want 2 look just like u :)
Im 53 i dont thinks its for me.Im ectophorm.But I got belly fats
Anyone has a trick to make up down plank easier? I feel that is hardest exercise...
if I do this everyday, how long will it take before I achieve a flat stomach? a month?
It's very hard for me to perform ALTERNATE PLANK, could you please suggest me some easy method for performing it. Rest all are okay. Good job and nice plank challenge.
Ankit Joshi just think “if she can do it , so can I . I’m not going to let some damn skinny girl beat me out in exercises . Time to step my game up”
Spiderman plank is dumb, do spiderman pushups or plank - why both v-v
I do it wif ma sister. And she keeps say argggghhh... I'm dying beside her haha
