NOTE: Ribs should be always kept in the refrigerator (approx. 40 F/4.4 C) before preparation. 1  Take the meat out of the refrigerator. 2  Rinse in cold water. 3  Remove any excess fat and extraneous meat pieces, or stuff you don't want to eat.  Remove the membrane (on inner 1  side). Rinse again, pat dry with a paper towel.
Also, a recent study on 168 college students found that your average college-aged female has a plank time of about 1 minute, 30 seconds, while an average college-aged male has a plank time of about 1 minute, 46 seconds (2).
And I think for most people, thatâs an acceptable goal. In fact, after youâve hit two minutes, I think itâd be a great idea to move on to more difficult plank exercises like these: 30 Days to a 5 Minute Plank and Rock-Hard Abs.In the same breath, thereâs no reason you have to settle for the 2 minute goal.âve had a lot of people ask me about how long to hold the plank exercise. And I always say the same thing, âit depends.â You know, on your goals, conditioning level, which plank youâre doing, etc.
