You’ve read through the program and studied each week carefully. You may just be thinking of taking the challenge or you may already be on the road to a fitter, stronger and healthier you.
You may also have pondered the origins of the five minute plank plan. If so, this page is for you.
Back in June 2008 I launched the hundred pushups website; a progressive six week strength training plan that was, and still is, a massive success. The hugely popular plan appealed to people from all over the world and is still attracting new challengers on a daily basis.
Over the years, a popular request has been to develop a similar progressive program to strengthen the core. The good news; based on a lots of feedback and hours of physical experimentation, the five minute plank program is ready to launch.
Despite a different format to the popular hundred pushups program, I believe the five minute plank program to be a great complement to, and just as effective as the original six week strength training plan.
Please provide feedback – both positive and negative – to the following email address, as I’m keen to make the plan as effective as possible for as many people as possible.
Good luck and happy planks!
