I just tried the exercise below. I managed 1 min 34 seconds.
Its a lot tougher then it looks.
Measure Fitness
Your EnduranceThe Plank is a great way to measure the endurance of your transversus abdominis, the deepest of the core muscles that wraps around your waist like a corset.
a) Lie face down on a mat with your arms bent at the elbows and your hands by your shoulders.
b) Push up until you are on your toes and hands, and then sink onto your elbows. Hold the position without moving, keeping as parallel with the floor as you can.
c) See how long you can last!
2-3 mins - Excellent
1-2 mins - Good
0-1 mins - Poor
