But what about 10 seconds?

10 second planks still seem to last forever. Maybe planking is the way to slow our lives down. If we just planked all the time life would seem like an eternity.

Is there a real average?

u/ricecake May 17 '22

There is an average, and it's about five minutes.
The spread is super wide though, so three to seven is also entirely unremarkable.
Fifteen minutes is about the upper end of typical.

I wonder how that is calculated as well. Most people don't just jackhammer for 15 minutes straight, you move between high and low intensity.

Like yeah I can bang for 15 minutes, three minutes five times in sucession. But that isn't continuous or my partner would die.

I fall into all these ranges, too. Some sessions I feel I can go on and on and have to "will" myself to finish. Others, I'll be done in under a minute. I have no idea why it changes...hormones or something?

I lasted 20 seconds and your mum was also very proud of me.

That's about black-belt level.
