How long can you hold the plank position? Lie face down on a mat. Raise yourself up on your forearms and your toes. Feet should be about shoulder-width apart. Hold your body in a straight line. Don't cheat by sticking your bum in the air!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEqL6DuE9iI holllly crap...I never thought I could make it this far. One thing I will tell you, it's not just physical endurance, but mental endurance. My mind was racing in circles trying to think of something else, urging me to stop after I get 5:00, then 7:00. It actually gets easy after 5:00 because it feels so long from that point that any more minutes is nothing. The intensity does not weaken though but endurance feels easier. I was shaking like crazy during the last 4 minutes but still held the position securely.

I actually did over 11 minutes yesterday (Sunday 4th Jan 09)and have a video. But because it is over 10 minutes in length I can't upload it to YouTube. I have got it onto Google but I get an error when I try to update my score and save it. I am not going to claim the record until I can post the video evidence. I could cut it down to nine minutes but what is the point in that! Any bright ideas?
