Nemo2, Maybe add some variation, my trainer recommends that once you get to 1 minute of hold time and are comfortable to change it up. I have a hard time with side planks with fully extended arm. I'm weaving all over the place so I stopped because I don't want to hurt myself. I do forearm planks and added side taps (move 1 leg out to the side and tap the floor once with your toes then bring leg back to center then do other leg), side dips (try to touch the floor with your hip going from side to side), straight arm standard planks. The side taps and side dips I don't time them I count them. Think I started with 10 for each side.
I looked online and don't see any other doctor/trainer saying to do these for 10 seconds, most of the recommendations are 30 sec. to 1 min.
A friend of mine uses weights when he does planks. Show-off!!

Right now, since my thumb is still numb from carpal tunnel surgery, I have trouble tying my own shoelaces.......I feel like a two year old.....a two year old scheduled for a colonoscopy this time next week.....sheesh.

The military calls a front plank the "Lean and rest".
So I think this fellow blows away the 10 hour guy.
3 Months in the front lean and rest.
