Planking: To lay face down in an unusual place with one’s arms to their side, fingers and toes pointed. A photograph must be taken and then posted to the internet.

WHAT?? I thought planking was a form of excercise to work your abs…Wrong. That exercise is “to plank,” not to be confused with “planking.”

As time goes on I see more and more posts on Facebook and the internet of my friends “planking.” I did not and still do not understand why this is a fad. However, I shouldn’t knock it before I try it. See below…I tried it. Now I can knock it.

1. This hurt my forehead.

2. I felt awkward.

3. I tried to find the most unusual place in my office, thus the countertop was used. I almost fell off and broke my neck. Imagine if I were trying planking in one of the even more unusual places seen all over the internet!

 

 

Am I just uncool and don’t understand the art of planking or do others agree that this is a silly fad?  Have you tried it?
