plank challenge

Timed prone hold

A plank challenge is a fitness regimen where participants hold the plank position—body rigid and parallel to the ground, supported on forearms and toes—for progressively longer periods over days or weeks.

The challenge format, popular on social media, typically runs thirty days with daily time increases: I'm on day fifteen of the plank challenge and my core is killing me.
