This is going to be quite a short post, for I have just finished making a post in my private blog, and now it is already past 6:30 p.m.
I even forgot to finish an exercise session that I truncated toward 10:00 a.m. this morning ─ basically, it was only half done at very best. And now I feel it to be too late ─ I haven't the motivation.
I also seem to have lost the motivation to get beyond nine minutes in planking. For two days now, that is where I have given up (well, I actually hold out for a few seconds longer than that).
I blame that damned video I posted about recently wherein a muscular young fellow denounced the generally proclaimed benefits of planking, and he refuted as many of those avowed benefits as he could think of.
Until then, I had just recently managed to plank for 12 minutes on at least four or five recent days, and it was beginning to appear that this new record for me might now be my latest regular planking target.
However, following watching that video, I just can't seem to find the resolve to suffer that long any more ─ I am too discouraged.
What is the point ─ if that fellow is actually correct and the proclaimed benefits of planking are all misconceived or misguided?
I cannot shake the doubt that he instilled within me.
If you did not see that earlier post of mine, this is the video I speak of: The TRUTH About Planks (IT’S UGLY!). It was posted to YouTube a little over five months ago.
I even located an article from 2015 contending much the same thing ─ see TheInertia.com (Don’t Be a Planker: Why I Stopped Giving Clients the Plank).
Most of the commenters to that article certainly disagreed, but the YouTubers tended to be more accepting.
And now it is approaching 7:30 p.m. ─ I must stop for today.
