PLANK CHALLENGE DAY 21: Owning the Minute

Hey Ageless Runners! We hit the big 60-second milestone yesterday. Today, we aren't moving the finish line, we are owning it.

In the realm of fitness, the core stands as the epicenter of strength and stability, playing a pivotal role in virtually every movement of the human body. By repeating the one-minute hold today, we are training our nervous system to treat this level of strength as the new "normal" rather than a one-time peak.

✅ TODAY'S MISSION: Day 21

• Hold Time: 60 seconds.

• Sets: 3 sets.

• Rest: 60 seconds between sets.

Focus for Today: Aging Gracefully

A strong core helps maintain independence and reduces the risk of falls and injuries as we age. Today, focus on the efficiency of the hold:

• Breathe: Don't hold your breath; use deep, controlled exhales to keep your heart rate down.

• Form Check: Keep your body straight from head to heels with elbows under your shoulders.

• Engagement: Ensure you are engaging your core, glutes, and legs to distribute the stress evenly.

Drop a "MINUTE DONE" in the comments once you’ve finished all three sets!

Reflect: Now that we are three weeks in, have you noticed any changes in your posture or back health during your daily life? 👇

P.S. Tomorrow is a well-earned Rest Day before we push into the 65-second mark on Day 23!
