Planksgiving Challenge

Happy Planksgiving! Get ready to strengthen your core and have some fun with our Planksgiving Fitness Challenge! Each day, you’ll be challenged to hold a plank, but don’t worry, we’re keeping things interesting with new variations daily.

Check out our Planksgiving Challenge Board in the Wellness Center featuring 27 hidden “blocks.” Every day, we’ll reveal a new block with a QR code linking to that day’s quick instructional video. Scan the code, follow along, and master a new plank style!

Can’t make it to the Y? No problem! Access each day’s video below and stay on track from home. Grab a score card at the Welcome Center and see if you can complete all 27 days of Planksgiving!
