Plank Hold challenge: how long can you hold it?
The plank is the best known hold in fitness. Put the camera at your side and the tracker checks that your shoulders, hips and ankles stay in one line.
How to play
- Put your camera on the floor or a low table, about 1.5 metres away, so it sees you from the SIDE.
- Get into a forearm or straight-arm plank with your head, hips and heels in one straight line.
- Hold it flat. Sagging hips or a raised bottom pause the timer.
World record
The longest recorded hold we found is 9:38:47 by Josef Šálek (Czech Republic), 2023 (Guinness World Records). Records can be broken after we last checked, and a hold timed on SlayFit is not an official attempt.
Side-on tracking is harder than front-on. Good light and a plain wall behind you help a lot.
