Irving....I don't think cupcakes should be brought up in the workout thread, just sayin'.

lol

I think that's great that you and the family starting doing that kind of stuff together like that. Awesome.

Plank is a bitch...I don't think I've made 3 minutes, but I've been over two for sure.

The best shape I've been in, in my life, was when I was following the FBI physical test. I've never really been into weight lifting, so I likely won't clog up this thread. Personally, I've found that just running a lot won't really get me to lose weight anymore. Not at the pace I run anyway. I think that minimum weight lifting (even if it's my own body weight) would be enough to get me over the bump. Final comment, I've been running for a few years, but now that I taught my daughter how to ride a bike, and dragged my wife out for a bike ride, everyone finally realized how much fun it is to go as a family. I can't tell you how excited I finally am to be the slowest one.

EDIT: Belly, I really like that workout you posted. May have to try it. Anyone ever tried incorporating a pull-up into a burpee? Really burns you up I bet.

You're not a big guy... How the hell are you slow?

Side planks are uniquely challenging as well, Roberth.

There are more than one style of plank, but the basic one is "push up" format.....elbows and forearms on the ground, and on your toes. Straight line from neck to feet.

I just laid down and did it for a minute... I started to shake, but I think I could have held longer. Video shortly.

Another plank is your butt upwards a bit.....the way Richard Simmons would like to see you do one.

Oh yeah!!... you'll start shaking... lol

Good shit though.

I alleviate the shaking by rocking front to back just a little bit... Maybe 3".
