## What is Plank Challenge?

This Plank Challenge timer is designed to simplify multi-day fitness goals by automatically calculating incremental daily targets, and automatically setting the timer accordingly for each day of your challenge.

Choose easy, medium, or hard difficulty, or set up your own custom challenge.

This app was built specifically with a 30-day Plank Challenge in mind, but can easily be used for any multi-day time-based fitness program.

The app also helps you remember to plank every day, by sending you a notification a day after your last plank.
If you ignore it, it will only remind you twice more after that (after another day, and after a week). This app won't judge you, and it won't keep nagging you.

## Key features

- Automated daily target calculation
- Adjustable timer settings
- Pre-set difficulty levels
- Custom challenge creation
- Daily plank reminders
- Multi-day fitness program support

### 2/5 — Good project but not super practical

*2020-10-12, version 1.1*

I was stoked to try this app for a plank challenge, but in practice, I wish it had a clearer calendar (rather than just back-and-forth buttons) and an audio alarm so that you can plank without having to stare at the screen.

### 5/5 — Just makes sense

*2019-10-11, version 1.1*

This simple app was just what I wanted. Configurable and no fanciness or frills. And I’ll get to a 4:00 minute plank in 30 days. Thanks!!!!

### 5/5 — My favorite plank app

*2017-11-27, version 1.1*

Nice and simple, easy to use interface - just what I need!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2016-04-30*

This really helps me to make incremental progress without trying too much too fast and getting discouraged. It's easy to use and not too strict (I needed to repeat a day and it was simple). Nice app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-04-08*

Very customizable but I want to be able to get rid of ads :(
