I tried it right and held it over two minutes then got bored. I'm out of shape too. How long is a good time to hold the plank? 5 minutes?

I can do it well for about 2.5 mins. That said, I'm about as far from being a muscular bad ass as it gets.
Longer than I can walk it

From what I've read, that angry frogger guy will "hold your plank" for as long as you'll let him!
I read somewhere that once you can hold a plank comfortably for a minute, it's not beneficial to hold it much longer.
I used to do plank a lot since sit-ups PPP at my tendons and I got up to 4.5 minutes. But it's a pretty boring exercise and to be honest I don't see much more benefit doing 4.5 than 2

Pshhh. But Ryan Hall can hold it for several minutes.
Or is that kneeling before God?
Why not both?
Fin.
My record is 5:05 but now about 2 minutes.
