I sometimes wish that I could be confident enough to bring in my point-and-shoot camera into the CrossFit gym to document some of the cool things we do. Instead of me feeling awkward and shy to ask the coaches if they could film me doing kipping pullups (my favorite move at CrossFit) or planks, I’ve decided to do it in the comfort of my own home.
Show me what you’re capable of! If you’re not too shy to go on video, that is.
I decided to film myself to see how long I could hold a plank for. Before you watch, how long do you think I can hold it?
Planking and Kipping are probably my most favorite exercises, besides climbing of course.
Be FitFluential, and get your plank on!

Ok, this may be cheating, but I see that your video is 3 mins. So either you edited some out or my guess is you held the plank under 3 mins, which is still pretty DARN good. My max was 5. Now to watch video and find out…….
Yowza, I struggle just over a minute. But… I’ve never tried to hold it longer than that because circuit training only requires each exercise to be performed at high intensity for one minute! Seems like a lot of the exercises you do are the same as my boxercise class.
Girl, get that camera into the gym! We should all see how awesome you are! Tweeting :)
Nancy says: lol thank you!
Nice work! I’d like to see the kipping pullup next!
I’ve never timed myself for planking, maybe I will and send it your way :)
You rock! That’s a really great time!
